Biography
Scritti Politti is a British project formed in Leeds in 1977, the vehicle of Welsh singer-songwriter Green Gartside, its only constant member. Beginning as a leftist DIY post-punk band on #Rough Trade Records#, it reinvented itself as a studio pop project with David Gamson and Fred Maher, scoring international hits from 'Cupid & Psyche 85' including 'Perfect Way' and 'The Word Girl'. Gartside has revived the name sporadically since, most recently with 'White Bread, Black Beer' in 2006.
