On YouTube right now, Grant’s Rock Warehaus had me on as a guest and we talked the I.R.S. Years for the band The Alarm. I love the I.R.S. Years of the band and they were one of my favorite bands of the 80’s. I mean who’s talking about The Alarm!! We are so join Grant and myself as we spread the love of this band.
The Alarm, hailing from Wales, burst onto the scene in the early ’80s with a powerful blend of punk rock energy and anthemic, socially conscious lyrics. Fronted by Mike Peters, the band quickly gained attention with their passionate performances and songs like “68 Guns” and “Strength.” Their music, often characterized by ringing guitars and a distinctive mix of punk, rock, and folk influences, resonated with fans looking for both substance and style. Over the years, The Alarm has remained a beloved band, known for their resilience and Peters’ commitment to using music as a force for change.

Awesome! I am eager to learn about this band. I am familiar with Mike Peters a little bit, so this will be fun.

Weren’t they called U2 lite for awhile?
Just love I.R.S years too. Only have In The Poppy Fields from the later stuff. That one’s really good too.
You guys don’t have The Best of Alarm and MIke Peters comp? It has more songs than Standards does.
