A Different Class
Danceclass - Danceclass [AMLH 68547 UK 1982 24-Bit 96kHz FLAC] Originally posted to the ESWA blog in May 2016. Sunderland's Danceclass did everything except dance - Power-pop-rock borrowed from The Jam and Squeeze mixed up with the vocal harmonies of seventies softies Steely Dan and Hall & Oates. They had a strong local following but hardly scraped the lower echelons of chart success with a couple of singles, Setting Myself On Fire and You Talk My Head Off . Given that seventies nostalgia is back in mode, you'll notice similarities to current day harmonic retro-rocksters Field Music, who quite coincidentally also come from Sunderland.
