In the very first episode of I Love This Band, I talk to my good friend Ursula Sam about X Ray Spex and their charismatic lead singer Poly Styrene. In this episode, we discuss what X Ray Spex mean to us and how Poly has become one of the most underrated and inspiring icons of 1970s punk rock. We trace the inspiration behind British alternative music, the impact of immigrant culture on the genre and how little girls should be heard not just seen. Oh Bondage, Up Yours!
