The Chameleons and B-Movie

The Chameleons, a Manchester-based atmospheric pop band formed in 1981, are known for moody tracks like "In Shreds." They released albums such as "Script of the Bridge" and "Strange Times," collaborating with producer Steve Lillywhite. Despite splitting after their manager's death, they reunited in 2000, releasing new music and performing widely, continuing their influence on the post-punk genre over decades.

B-Movie, formed in 1980, emerged from the New Romantic scene, aligning more with Psychedelic/Post-Punk bands. Known for their hit "Nowhere Girl," they signed with Polygram, achieved success with distinct glistening guitars, swirling synths, and Steve Hovington's baritone. After splitting in 1983, they reformed, releasing albums like "Forever Running" and "Age Of Illusion." They continue to tour and release music with a classic yet darker sound.
