idolizing wednesday: Marine girls



Marine girls were an obscure, Brittish indie pop group in the early eighties. Pre-Everything but the girl Tracey Thorn at her best. Everything they did is not great, but several songs stand out ("On my mind", among others). Most of all, I like the band's rough, timeless sound. Marine Girls were like a DIY version of the Shangri-Las (they deserve their own entry).

PS: Googling for this picture was not so fun. "Marine girls"... Girls in tiny costumes. (One pic was labelled "girls with guns"... OMG.)
