Culture Club

Culture Club was a popular 1980s pop group, perhaps most noticeable for their gender-bending frontman Boy George. The other members of the band were Roy Hay on guitars and keyboards, Mikey Craig playing bass and Jon Moss (ex Damned, London, Adam and the Ants) on drums. Their first album, 1982's Kissing to Be Clever, became a major international hit, spawning the hit singles "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" (which went 'all the way' in the BBC-Charts in late 1982), "Time (Clock of the Heart)", and "I'll Tumble 4 Ya".

Moritz

A classic 80's British AOR act that for reasons unknown didn't make the grade which was a real crime. The release of City Streets which has gone down a storm. So inspired by the resurge in interest, 2010 sees the release of a new album "Undivided" that has definitely been worth waiting for. Have a look at the promo video. Shot in Londons East End, this rare promo footage of Moritz features the lead track from their debut EP Can't stop loving You. Filmed in 1987, this video helped the EP become a total sell out, and vinyl copies now exchange hands on the internet for over £50.

Panache

There are numerous bands with the name Panache 1) Panache joins two Montrealers: Carl-Éric Hudon and Benoît Fréchette. They produced an album also named Panache with Grosse Boîte producers. Their style could be described as pop-punk. Panache was nominated alongside Bernard Adamus and Jimmy Hunt for the Félix-Leclerc prize in 2011. 2) Panache is a lush pop project about unrealized fantasy dreams and the disappointment that comes from waking up, knowing that you had it all within your grasp.
