Song Of The Week

11/14/2026

BRADFORD 🇬🇧 are one of the sleeper bands in my collection.

The band formed around 1987 in Blackburn. Their debut release was the first cd single ever released on an independent label.

Along the way they connected with STEPHEN STREET, producer for, among others, THE SMITHS 🇬🇧.

Ironically, today STREET is a full fledged member of the band.

They released a clutch of singles and their eponymously entitled debut in 1988. Following their 1990 release, “Shouting Quietly” they faded away.

Amazingly, along the way, MORRISSEY recorded a cover version of their single, “Skin Storm.”

A compendium entitled “30 Years Of Shouting Loudly” was released in 2018 much to my delight.

That inspired a reformation and there have been two LPs since. See below.

For today, our song of the week, we go with a track from their debut. Here is the song “Lust Roullette.” Enjoy this delightful indie pop song.
