This culminated in the cult classic, 'Invaders' album, released in 1986, which received rave reviews from Aardshock's Readers Poll, amongst many others.

Alun Parry
The Name Thing First off, his name is Alun Parry, not Alan Parry. Its not a typo. He was named after former Liverpool striker Alun Evans. There is a football commentator from this neck of the woods called Alan Parry. That's not him. He's just a singer songwriter. The Music He's a prolific singer songwriter from Liverpool and he plays across the North West regularly performing his own music. His music is best described as gritty folk rock laced with social observation. It's footstomping stuff in the main. It mixes a contemporary, urban feel with a strong traditional roots influence.
