Bronski Beat: Age of Consent (1984)


This is my first and only Bronski Beat record. It's interesting to note that Bronski Beat seems to have been labelled as a dance band, when in fact, many of the songs on this record would be difficult to dance to. (I'm not really into dance music or disco--and I think that techno is just irritating noise). The weirdest thing about this band is Jimmy Somerville's voice. I am still not sure I like it, but I suppose it works with these songs. This is a solid collection of songs, but something that is really on the fringes of my collection, and something that I was never really in to.

I am sure many people are familiar with Smalltown Boy, a song about homophobia.
