Custard

1. Custard were a masterful band of pop craftsmen with an uncanny grasp of the two-minute-something single who seemed to have equal amounts of Devo, Pavement and, oddly, disco in their genetic makeup. They were also blessed with singer Dave McCormack, whose voice was innocent and boyish-sounding enough to get away with things that might ordinarily cause a fuss – from songs about speed labs to geeky dedications to Jim Henson and an infamous declaration that “music is crap”.

My Red Cell

New edgy punk straight out of Barry, South Wales. The group's members met in Barry, the not very rock 'n' roll South Wales town where they went to the local comprehensive. Tiring of the various dubious thrills of Barry Island Pleasure Park, the four of them set about forming a band. They initially performed as punkish also-rans Babylose, before realising they were a bit rubbish. So, retitled and reinvigoured, they returned as My Red Cell.
