XTC was one of the smartest — and catchiest — British pop punk bands to emerge from the late '70s.
From the tense, jerky riffs of their early singles to the lushly arranged, meticulous pop of their later albums XTC's music has always been driven by the hook-laden songwriting of guitarist Andy Partridge and bassist Colin Mouldin.
While popular success has eluded them in both Britain and America, the group has developed a devoted cult following in both countries that remains loyal over three decades after their first records.
XTC's first full album, White Music shows the band going full-throttle in true punk spirit. More dissonant than their latter period, the young band shines with directionless energy and a good sense of humour.
Highlights include the catchy singles "This Is Pop" and "Radios in Motion" as well as a jumpy version of "All Along the Watchtower"
Side 1: RADIOS IN MOTION / X WIRES / THIS IS POP / DO WHAT YOU DO / STATUE OF LIBERTY / ALL ALONG THE WATCH TOWER
