....One of those odd ball new wave bands that I used to like but had a hard time following because the material available was so limited. Two of the most phenomenal club singles from the 80's were released by this relatively unknown band. "A Letter From A Far", which I bought 12'inch single back in 84 still in my opinion one of the best songs of all time, and "Nowhere Girl" their most popular single. Surprisingly the bands most successful single in the UK was "Remembrance Days" which although good is in my opinion the weakest of the three songs.
....From Mansfield England the formed in 1978, active in the first half of the 1980,s they called themselves B-Movie after an Andy Warhol painting of the same name. They were originally signed to the Some Bizzare record label. Bizzare Records was a British independent record label founded in 1981, with the release of Some Bizzare Album , a compilation of unsigned bands including Depeche Mode , Soft Cell , The The and Blancmange. Though B-Movie release a number of singles they didn't actually release an entire album until 1985, the album was called Forever Running ( Sire Records ) unfortunately is was a commercial failure. Shortly after it's release the band broke up, each going their separate ways, most joining with other bands.
