Before The Manics, The Phonics, The Furries, Wales was a desolate wasteland for guitar based rock bands, One band shined like a diamond in a bucket of s**t...
The Alarm... The eighties rollercoaster rock ride through chart success both in Europe and the United States, Sold out tours, top 20 singles, top 10 albums came to a shuddering halt in Brixton in 1990...
Mike Peters went solo; he released a series of critically acclaimed solo albums and spent ten years building upon the success of the previous decade...
At the turn of the 21st Century the alarm bells began to ring again with a new line up, a new sound a new vision, a new direction, five releases later and countless tours and a furry into chart action again with 'The Poppy Fields' brings us to celebrate the opening ten years of The Alarm MkII.
'21' is exactly that, twenty one of the best Alarm songs from the 21st Century...
Released on Monday November 2nd, this is the definitive collection of the best of the modern day Alarm... BUT. This is no ordinary collection, for there are mew mixes, new recordings, re-mixes, re-fixes, some brand new never heard versions and also a DVD of unseen clips, studio footage, live footage, photo's and much more...
This is the definitive modern collection of one of Wales's best bands... EVER!
