Our Take

In the dizzying landscape of late 70s punk rock, Alternative TV stood out as a band that knew how to push boundaries while still maintaining a sense of melody and wit. With their debut album "The Image Has Cracked" now available on coloured vinyl, it's time to revisit these pioneers of the DIY scene.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track "Alternatives," it's clear that this is not your average punk record. The band's eclectic range of influences shines through, with elements of reggae, post-punk, and even a touch of glam rock all coming together in a gloriously chaotic mix.

Frontman Mark Perry's sneering vocals are the perfect counterpoint to the band's infectious energy, delivering acerbic lyrics with a wink and a nod. Tracks like "Life" and "Action Time Vision" showcase Perry's knack for combining social commentary with pure, unadulterated fun.

But what really sets "The Image Has Cracked" apart is its willingness to experiment. From the psychedelic swirl of "Viva La Rock 'N' Roll" to the minimalist groove of "Nasty Little Lonely," Alternative TV never shy away from trying something new.

In the end, this album is a testament to the power of punk rock to surprise and delight in equal measure. So grab your coloured vinyl, turn up the volume, and let Alternative TV take you on a wild ride through the chaos and creativity of the late 70s music scene. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
