ALBANIA (Buy CDs by this artist)
Are You All Mine (UK Chiswick) 1981

This English quintet's strength was prolix, interesting lyrics about winning and losing at romance, delivered over multinational-styled rock with guitars, keyboards and saxophone providing the basic sound and K-Y McKay's songs and vocals adding personality. The album's sound stretches from polka to punk — like Deaf School and other demi-theatrical outfits — but it's really the words that made the band.

[Ira Robbins]
