IBU is a great, precision tooled pop rock single. It really deserves a higher profile than it has, as does album opener Shangri-La. Oddly, I note Beatles influences in their songs, mainly the vocals.
Very true. But anyone who likes what Roxette was doing then might want to give this one a spin, even if a lot of their lyrics were very gloomy/meteorologically concerned.
Thanks for bringing attention to overlooked artists. A cause dear to my heart.
Never heard these guys before but this IBU song isn’t half bad. I’ll look out for some more.
Appreciate it! 🫡

Yeah, they deserved better. But as you know, a lot of late 80s artists fell victim to the changing world.

I don't remember these guys but they're not bad.
Very ‘of the time’ I would say.
I wrote a Roman Grey/Kenny McLean deep dive last year

RIP Kenny 🇨🇦
Both the band and the song were new to us. Nice tune though!
