The Legend! describes a difficult gig for @hifisean.bsky.social at Strutz and is positive about The Soup Dragons who "have an awesome active edge which rockets their songs into a class of their own." He is less generous to the support @bmxbanditsduglas.bsky.social

Reviews of @weddingpresent.bsky.social's Once More.
A "little peach of punky power pop" thinks @dannykellywords.bsky.social (NME), "refreshingly raucous" says Mike Gardner (RM), and "like eating a tin of nails" for Richard Cook (Sounds).

So we have made it to the end of January 1986, the first month in the Indiepop Chronicles.
Given I started in July I may need to up the pace a little bit.

How are you all finding it? Any requests, suggestions?

I am all ears...

It's the indie charts. Cocteaus still occupying the top two spots, and Pig Bros still hanging in there (up two places no less!).

Any favourites amongst this lot?

Ron Rom underwhelmed by @thejunebrides.bsky.social at the Sir George Robey (later The Powerhaus). "The bite...which should have made them the direct heirs to the Buzzcock tradition of pop, hasn't emerged."
