Back in time
4 June 2024
40 years ago today, on 4 June 1984 THE BOSS
released his 7th LP, entitled BORN IN THE USA.
The album that made his star status even bigger than it already was.
The record went to No. 1 in the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, and in
several European countries.
We can discuss the fact if it’s Springsteen‘s best album ever (certainly not, IMO)
’till the cows come home, but one thing’s for sure, Born In The USA cemented his
working-class hero aura for eternity.
Rolling Stone: wrote back then: “Like the guys in the songs, the music was born in
the U.S.A.: Springsteen ignored the British Invasion and embraced instead the legacy
of Phil Spector’s releases, the sort of soul that was coming from Atlantic Records and
especially the garage bands that had anomalous radio hits. He’s always chased the utopian feeling of that music, and here he catches it with a sophisticated production and a subtle change in surroundings, the E Street Band cools it with the saxophone solos and piano arpeggios — from song to song.” Full review here. Score: 5/5.

Band: BUGEYE
Who: Female pop quartet from London blending cherry-liqueur lyrics, bubblegum-kneecap bass electrics, goth-heavy drum compactions & hi-rise guitar sculptures.
New single: DANCING IN THE DARK
TUTV: Bugeye do again what they do best. Throwing a party with a towering
dance tune. And this disco ball banger is one of their best ever. Fact! Drum
and bass work together causing rhythmic dynamics, ablaze guitars pump up
the decibels and the girls’ vocals are going through the roof.
Euphoric excitement all over the place when the ecstatic chorus kicks in.
Their get-up-and-go vitally is contagious. Don’t forget to add this fiery firestarter
to your New Year’s Eve playlist. Zippy fun guaranteed. Put the champagne already
in the refrigerator, check your stereo and start practising your craziest moves.
Forget about Bruce Springsteen, dance in the dark with Bugeye.
Go.
