80's Indie "anorak" Girl bands



1987 was first time i went to london, someone gave me a shop assistants tape, with the rosehips on the other side, i played it over and over and over again until it almost melted in the tapeplayer. From a record label inspired buy a ramones song 53rd & 3rd and more here are some great bands to check out.

There is a lot more that could be added here but for me this was the core of

what i was listening to.
