The Room (partially) turned into Benny Profane, who may have grazed the outer edges of your life at some point a few years later, Tom. I recall they (The Room) had a few good singles, "New Dreams For Old" in particular is a kind of midpoint between new pop and anthemic indie. OK, OK I like it for nostalgic reasons mostly, but THOSE ARE REASONS TOO.
There were plenty of PUNKERS and GOFFS (probably still protogoths ath this stage) and PSYCHOBILLIES and SUCHLIKE around who thought new pop was rub, obv. Also musos.
I don't recall talking about "new pop" in '82 or whatever, even though I read the NME (in truth, I probably ignored most of the commentary stuff and got on with reading the Clare Grogan and JoBoxers interviews). I was 12, it was just pop.
