Grebo

In the late 80's or so, I started listening to some bands that were making alternative music that was starting to be called Grebo. I had no idea it was called that until later, but I liked the sound. Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Carter USM and Pop Will Eat Itself all had this sound. I had early 12"s from Age Of Chance, the weird commercials in-between tracks on Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Add early Jesus Jones and EMF and it was unbelievable what it sounded like. Less than ten years later and the Grebo movement had changed and become Industrial Dance, but they left an indelible mark on the music scene. Here are some of my favorites in this pick.
