XTC

Idiosyncratic English band, formed in Swindon, Wiltshire in 1976, whose output has ranged from jerky post-punk experimentalism to bucolic folk-rock songcraft. The only all-present members are Andy Partridge (vocals/guitar) and Colin Moulding (vocals/bass); each writes and sings songs separately. Other members have included Barry Andrews (later of Shriekback, keyboards), Dave Gregory (guitar) and Terry Chambers (drums). Regarded as one of the most quintessentially English of groups, the band has, bizarrely, often sold more records in the USA.
