Biography

Teenage Filmstars were an English post-punk band formed in 1979 by Edward Ball, Daniel Treacy, and Joseph Foster. The group initially gained attention with their first single "(There's A) Cloud Over Liverpool" released in 1979, which received attention from Radio 1 DJ John Peel and later from American college radio stations who mistook it for a tribute to John Lennon. Following this, they released additional singles such as "The Odd Man Out" (1980) and "I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape" (1981). In November 1980, Ball changed the band's name to The Times. After a hiatus, Teenage Filmstars re-emerged in 1992 with the album Star, followed by Rocket Charms (1993), Buy Our Record Support Our Sickness (1997), and Bring Back The Cartel (1999). Their work often blended psychedelic and progressive rock elements, earning them a notable place in the post-punk scene.
