The Soft Boys: Discography 1979 - 2002

A KOSTAS SPECIAL



Kostas tells us: "Led by Robyn Hitchcock, the group blended edgy pop and punk's fearlessness with a love of 
psychedelia and folk-rock. Their offbeat and hooky melodies, matched with Hitchcock's witty, surreal lyrics, set them apart from their peers, and R.E.M. were just the best known of the many bands that learned from their example. They made a striking debut with 1979's A Can of Bees, and 1980's Underwater Moonlight was an edgy, joyous masterpiece that led the way to Hitchcock's solo career. 

We have featured a fair bit of Robyn Hitchcock’s solo work here and it behoves us to check this out from Kostas as he profiles an early band incarnation of Robyn's as an near 
proto-punk pop band in The Soft Boys - download the lot you know it makes sense its from Urbanspirines
