London 0 Hull 4

by The Housemartins

London 0 Hull 4 cover art

Fusing remarkably energetic, upbeat jangle pop with unabashedly Marxist politics and Christian faith, The Housemartins delivered a fiercely original debut. Paul Heaton's soaring, blue-eyed soul vocals wrap biting, sarcastic class critiques in deceptively bright, catchy guitar melodies. It stands as a highly conscious, deeply passionate, and witty classic of British indie pop.
