God aren't songs from the past just so...so... AWESOME?! XD I is 15 and HATE any modern stuff well not all modern stuff I like Noah and the Whale and well I think that's it?? I dunno but I swear I'm a perfect example of rencarnation, I know quite a lot about old things and all of my mates keep calling me Granny because of it =( lol augh well this decade sucks anyway 60's 70's and 80's ROCK! I'll shut up now =S lol
I don't think they had a real drummer until they released Crawdaddy. This does sound like a machine. The guy in the video wasn't a real drummer, he just played on in the video.
I heard this band for the first time only a month ago and I'm addicted! Fresh, pure, fun indie pop, irrestible.
Also: Was this the most gorgeous girl in the world in 1990? She's adorable! But she still looks lovely now! If you're out there Andrea, give me a call!!!
if you're out there Andrea or Darling Buds you were brilliant. I'm 36 now and listened to you about 1988+ I've still got my blonde bob because of you!!
erotica is their best album. love this song from that album. sadly though the album didnt fare very well coz madonna's erotica album which came out at the same time. andrea is totally lovely.
Gosh ! I've always loved the Darling Buds, all three albms are great, but... it's the first time I'm discovering what they look like ! It's funny to know all songs by heart without knowing what their faces look like ! Again, thanks for posting !!!
The same thing for me back in the 90s! I had every album and single, and even interviewed them for a high school paper but never saw a video until recently!
I saw them live twice (once at the famous Woody's, the second place I forget), and I could see what they looked like on their album covers! I'm not disappointed at all with them. Since 1988 they remain one of my favorite bands. I've just never seen their videos until a year ago - never really had a need to!
You're right about their live show. Nice people, though. And about Erotica (to the previous poster) - it was an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Madonna's album, not the other way around.
I was there in NYC with the band when they were doing publicity and promotion for Erotica - the record company knew off the bat what Madonna was doing (as did the rest of the world) and they wanted to totally capitalize on it. It was very sad to see because I knew it would doom the Darling Buds. The two album covers were identical! Knowing Madonna's track record it's debatable who was ripping off who, but it's obvious who came out on top in the end.
OMG!!! The singer looks like Debbie Harry!

This should've been The Darling Buds at the peak of their powers but didn't follow the top 30 sucess of Hit The Ground and the Pop Said album

does anyone think the drums are from a machine - bit to click click click for me? and maybe the bass. God i hope it's Andrea singing
northyvoicy 3 years ago
i think it's just how drums were recorded a lot of the time back then. all midrange frequencies, snare mixed way too loud with way too much reverb.
freakyfadge 3 years ago
it all sounds the same throughout the song, especially snare. still drummers were like fishermen back then in the bay!

I think their records are amazing, but they were sub-par live. It was probably that inadequacy that doomed them.

Actually, the Darling Buds' Erotica was released a few weeks *before* Madonna's.
