Scouse Pop is a journey into the personalities and music of the
successful pioneering Liverpool pop bands of the late seventies and
eighties. It examines their motivations, their uniqueness and the
routes to success which made them into enduring musical innovators.
It looks at the reasons why art-pop bands such as OMD, China
Crisis, Echo and the Bunnymen, Black and Frankie Goes to Hollywood
managed to combine art and commerce with such spectacular success.
The bands experienced their own 'revolutions in the head, '
internal revolutions than eventually made many of them household
names. The development of these suburban romantics from Liverpool
represented a period of intensive creativity and musical
romanticism that still resonates today. The spirit of (internal)
revolution at the heart of these bands retains a strong fascination
for those interested in artistic creation and popular culture.
Given the bleak and uninspiring context within which the bands
surfaced, how did these musicians achieve great success? Scouse Pop
explores this question in detail, and examines the factors that
facilitated the transformation of Liverpool teenage dreams into
commercial and cultural impact. The music industry, radio and DJs,
producers and engineers, the record-buying public and the bands
themselves comprise the heart of this account.
