Led by the enigmatic Mike Score on vocals and keyboards, the band became known for their catchy melodies, futuristic lyrics, and of course, those trademark flared haircuts that made them stand out from the crowd.

Their self-titled debut album, released in 1982, was a critical and commercial success, with hits like “Space Age Love Song” and “Telecommunication” solidifying their place in music history.

Their music, with its infectious hooks and futuristic sound, continues to inspire new generations of artists and fans alike.
