The Unheard Music

The first of three unheard bands today is Delta 5. England's Delta 5 emerged as one of the key figures of feminist new wave. Formed in 1979, Delta 5 issued their debut single, "Mind Your Own Business," and found themselves thrust to the forefront of the Leeds post-punk community. With the success of their second single, "You," they mounted a successful U.S. tour. In 1981 Delta 5 issued their debut LP, See the Whirl. The group split shortly after its release. Much of the group's output remained hard to come by until the Singles & Sessions compilation was released by Kill Rock Stars in 2006. (Source)


Here is the song "Colour" from their second single.


Next up is Hunters and Collectors. Hunters and Collectors formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1981. They began as a post-punk band eventually evolving into the intensity and passion of U2. They became known for their live shows and toured to a devoted following until 1999.

And finally, Channel 3. Early 80's American punk rock. 'nuff said.
