Remembrance Days - The Dead Good Years is a 13 track compilation of the very interesting post-punk keyboard/guitar band B-Movie. This album features original and alternative versions of their national chart hits "Nowhere Girl" and "Remembrance Days". Extensive sleeve notes contain information and trivia on the band and the four original members. B-Movie formed in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire during 1978 from the ashes of local punk band The Aborted. Originally calling themselves Studio 10 after a local hairdressing salon, the inaugural line-up of Steve Hovington (vocals/bass), Paul Statham (guitar) & Graham Boffey (drums) quickly changed their name to B-Movie following Steve's discovery in an art book of the Andy Warhol painting of the same name. Their early songs "Man On A Threshold" & "Refugee" are a mixture between punkrock and new-wave (Joy Divison, Only Ones, Cure) with great melodies, clear structure and strong power. Despite touring through the USA and Europe and several re-releases of the mentioned hits, there was very less success for the band and about in 1985 they called it a day. This CD is more than worth to catch, great music of an underrated and nearly forgotten band.
