The Wannadies formed in 1988 in the Northern Swedish town of Skellefteå They had two Top 20 hits in the UK singles chart including a Gold Disc for You and Me Song and Might Be Stars and quickly became NME favourites. Despite forming in 1988 it was the re-release of You and Me Song in April 1996 that the band really made an impact in the UK It reached number 18 on the UK Singles Chart and having sold over 500,000 units earned a GOLD DISC. That year the track appeared on the official soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo + Juliet too. Their story has plenty of twists and turns and Pär tells it all for you.

The Primitives were formed in Coventry in 1984 and after some initial line-up changes settled on the classic line up which had 4 singles in the UK top 40 including the number 5 hit “Crash”. They got early valuable support when Morrisey became an advocate. They split in 1992 but reformed in 2009 and continue to work together. Todays episode has a short biography of the band with clips of their songs and has an interview with Paul Court who has been with the band since the beginning. He is the Guitarist, singer and songwriter for the band. The band have had a fascinating journey right through to now and still tour with one due in November of 2025. Whilst the band will be known for the hit single Crash, they are so much more than that and have had a number of other hit singles and have a back catalogue that is impressive and our episode tries to explore that and their stories. We hope you like it and of course as always please give us feedback via facebook, Spotify, Apple, Amazon or wherever you get your podcasts from.
