Johnny Hates Jazz

Lemme tell y'all 'bout this british trio who are my favorite group at the moment. I've been fixated with them since Monday, when I got the LP vinyl copy of their album "Turn Back The Clock" in the mail (I got a CD copy the next day). I ordered both versions on New Year's Eve (I think). This is a brilliant pop band! They're no Alphaville, but they're still brilliant! Highlights on "Turn Back The Clock" include of course the classic "Shattered Dreams", plus:

I Don't Want To Be A Hero
the title track
What Other Reason
Foolish Heart

They made a second album, but I don't think it came out in the US. Plus they had a different singer by then, so it probably isn't good.

Do they ACTUALLY hate Jazz? Because that's mad! :¬ P

Anyway, I myself am British and have never heard of this band so I'd definatly like to know more about them if you could describe their style or if they have a website?

LMAO, I'm not sure. They got their name from a friend of theirs who seriously hated jazz. Ironically, they got discovered while they were playing at a jazz club. Anyway, here's some song samples:

Shattered Dreams
I Don't Want To Be A Hero
Turn Back The Clock
What Other Reason
Foolish Heart
