Like Del Amitri, Wolverhampton’s The Wild Flowers became tired of a disinterested UK pop scene and looked to America for inspiration and appreciation. After two singles, ‘Melt Like Ice’ and ‘Things Have Changed’, and an album, 'The Joy Of It All', on Reflex in 1984, the fledgling outfit were dealt a blow when original guitarist Dave Newton left to form The Mighty Lemon Drops. This is a very underrated early 80s neo-psychedelic post-punk guitar pop in the same vein as Echo & The Bunnymen, Icicle Works, and The Teardrop Explodes. Worth seeking out if you like this sound.
