I always wonder how many people know about Bob Geldof from Live Aid, and maybe some of his later music, but have no idea that he was a founding member of this quirky Irish new wave/punk band. The Fine Art of Surfacing is among the large number of records I bought in 1979. For some reason, that was a big year for records for me.
The most famous Rats songs, I Don't Like Mondays, is on this album. It's a fine song about a dark subject, though the video avoids the issue entirely, which is perplexing.
