Music for Boys - The Suburbs

There are three bands called The Suburbs: 1 - Minneapolis new wavers the Suburbs began recording for local label Twin/Tone in 1978. Their first full-length album, In Combo, was released in 1980, featuring tense, energetic playing and offbeat lyrics. The 1981 double album Credit in Heaven consolidated the band's approach, incorporating elements of disco and blue-eyed soul. The 12" single "Waiting" got the band substantial play in dance clubs and attracted the attention of Mercury, which signed them in 1983 and re-released their Dream Hog EP.
