Our Take

Ah, Altered Images - The Epic Years. A band that burst onto the scene in the 80s with their unique mix of quirky pop and new wave sounds. This compilation album brings together some of their best tracks from their time with Epic Records, showcasing their undeniable talent and infectious energy. Lead singer Clare Grogan's unmistakable voice shines through on every track, effortlessly switching between sweet and sassy with a hint of rebellious attitude. The band's playful lyrics and catchy melodies are still as catchy today as they were back in the day, making it impossible not to bop along. Tracks like "Happy Birthday" and "I Could Be Happy" are pure gems that perfectly capture the band's youthful exuberance and sense of fun. Meanwhile, deeper cuts like "See Those Eyes" and "Pinky Blue" showcase a more introspective side to the band, adding depth to their overall sound. Overall, Altered Images - The Epic Years is a delightful trip down memory lane for fans of 80s music. It's a reminder of a time when pop music was fun, catchy and unapologetically upbeat. So dust off your shoulder pads and crimp your hair, because this album is guaranteed to transport you back to a simpler, more colourful time.
