Strike 5,314 Posted April 29 The Alarm were like Triumph - hugely underrated due to being in the shadow of a band that hit it huge from the same country at around the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on. But U2 was from N Ireland. The Alarm from Wales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HellToupee 1,645 Posted April 29 Saw the alarm open for U2 when they first hit arenas in Worcester Ma. Radio/music industry tried to pigeon hole the alarm as U2 lite or U2 adjacent. Different band and sound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I worked in a kitchen in the early 80’s too. 77 WABC. Lots of awful pop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
