The Fall
The Fall are an Australian indie group that was signed to Rough Trade Records around the mid-1980s. Their third album, Grotesque (After the Gramme), was released in November 1980. The album was preceded with acclaimed singles such as "Better Man", which reached #1 on UK Indie Charts. The album was co-produced by Rough Trade's Geoff Travis and Red Krayola's Mayo Thompson. Smith suffered from problems with Rough Trade but he released music on the independent label, and eventually formed a new group.
The Buzzcocks
The Buzzcocks are a result of a love for punk and the depressing, post-industrial Manchester. While many punk bands took their cues from them, Buzzcocks weren't interested in faux nihilism or anarchistic invocations. Their nihilistic outlook was inspired by the harsh '70s. The band's first EP, Spiral Scratch, sold more than 16,000 copies and broke into the singles chart.

The Pixies are an American rock band that was formed in Boston thirty years ago. Seven studio albums have been released by the Pixies. Head Carrier, their seventh studio album, is their most recent.
