53 here too lol

No way, lol, I'm another 53 year old. LOVED this band back in the day! Tempe, Arizona

And all the other comments are 5-6 years old, yet this one is only two months. And I didn't get here from a recommendation, I'm in the pool with my wife at night, reminiscing about old bands and I simply searched for this one. Weird!

@@gulfsurfco ii was in Sydney Australia at the time now I live in Melbourne Australia lived through the underground pub scene of Sydney Australia in the 80's moved to Melbourne in 1999 but lived through an amazing time in Music, too many unbelievable Acts to mention we were spoilt for choice the Darling buds were different to the Rock Pop and punk bands I was watching at the time but their sound was so infectious not to mention the beautiful lady singing those songs to me 🌝☮️🌈🦋 Let's go round and round and.......

Kills me that a band as good as this never made it big; but then their obscurity is what we indie-folk cherish!

Yeah whole outro after that ultra satisfying chord drop at 2:33 is great.

Yup. Good outro like The Smithereens "House We Used To Live In"

well DH was out of it on drugs thats the only reason she was thin!

TELL ME WHEN U R GOING AND I'LL GO WITH U HAVE TO JUKE THE WIFE L O L 🤣 😜 🤪

I'n not. She's not an attention-seeking, gold-digging thieving old slagdonna, or bleeding ears soul-crap of Houston/Turner/Stansfield or part of the MOR power ballad howling/bleating stain from the US (Womacks/Heart/Starship/Atlantic Star/Jets etc.all) nor part of the PWL (puke/wank/laugh conveyor belt that minogue and the rest form all of. That's all the bases covered. No one fitting into that (and is a bird or fronted by won) will have a place!

@@kyachdistent1301 Christ....love the passion, but I didn't understand a word of what you've said

Not surprised they never really hit big sadly. Too pop sounding for any rock stations of that era in the late 80s or early 90s, too alt rock sounding for any top 40/pop stations.

I grew up in this era and Keren Woodward WAS my Cyd Charisse and I won't have you disrespect her! It doesn't matter if she danced like a cucumber on a chicken skewer, she is still almost certainly the most beautiful woman I have seen in my life.

+Imogen Gallagher Is she a good teacher?

She´s definitely a hot teacher

Good job she's not your English teacher.

Town and country club Kentish Town … long time ago now…. Great gig…. Feeling old now

+Gordon Fitterer Exactly mate. You love one you love them all. Fucking brilliant songwriters. Where's Harley these days? What a waste of a talent not to be rockin' it still. Heard he's a nutritionist.

+Tim Coe - myUSP if you really like the Darling Buds you should if you haven't already done so check out the Primitives another Great Band from that Era never a dull song from them also

Yes I saw The Primitives at Portsmouth Guildhall. Good, not on the same level as The DB for me.

That whole Blonde female led band of the late 80’s is overlooked. I’d say Voice Of The Beehive were easily up there at the top: Here’s their most well known song/video recently remastered kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrt4aptqrJnKXZ8.html But they had so many other strong tracks, 3 albums & sheer character to back them up.

+Christopher Luxford I saw them at ULU and The Wonder Stuff were on my favourite bands. Maybe not then then if I didn't remember them. Maybe a different ULU night. Remember it was fucking great though.

During that era Buds & Wonder Stuff shared a producer (Pat Collier, ex-Vibrators).

All the blonde-led alternative bands from Britain at this time got compared to Blondie and Debbie Harry.

Voice Of The Beehive 🐝~*🎶 were of that era/scene, but stood out as well, probably as blonde singer songwriter Tracey Bryn also played guitar. That & her sister Melissa also sang and fronted the band. Likely less C86 influenced as well, but a similar set up otherwise of leather & levi’s rock n roll guys in the band.

In other words people are tastless shit. It's slagdonna and whitney houston if your woman or any shit male band or singer. They were simply too good for the retarded wanker audience like ALL the best 80s acts were without querstion. And the indie kids AREN'T cool, certainly not if half the shit termed it is anything to go by! Yet people like the b52s and talking heads get an audience, and minogue and slagdonna, bon jovi, beastie boys, wet wet wet, lisa stansfield, bros, rap etc. Oh okay!

More like Roxette.
