Our Take
Our Take
If you're feeling nostalgic for the neon and hairspray of the 80s, then Altered Images’ Bite 40th Anniversary reissue is sure to transport you back in time faster than you can say "flock of seagulls". This album, originally released in 1991, still sounds fresh and exciting today, proving that good music never goes out of style.
Claire Grogan’s distinctive vocals soar over catchy synth-pop melodies, creating a sound that is both infectious and endearing. Tracks like "I Could Be Happy" and "Dead Pop Stars" showcase the band's unique blend of punk attitude and shimmering pop sensibilities.
The reissue includes bonus tracks and a live recording of the band at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1981, giving fans a glimpse into Altered Images’ electrifying live performances. The production quality may not be as crisp as modern standards, but that only adds to the charm and authenticity of the album.
Overall, Bite 40th Anniversary is a must-have for any fan of 80s music or Altered Images. Whether you're rediscovering the band or hearing them for the first time, this album is a time capsule of the era that will have you dancing like it's 1981 all over again. So dust off your shoulder pads and hairspray that fringe, because Altered Images are back and they're ready to take you on a nostalgia trip like no other. Get ready to sink your teeth into Bite 40th Anniversary and let the retro vibes wash over you like a tidal wave of synth-pop goodness.
