Has anyone ever heard of them? If so, do you like them? I've been a fan for 2 or 3 years.

if its emo then no
Only song I know is Up The Junction, and I love it. I've been thinking about getting an album, because what I have is Teenage Kicks, which is a compilation of some of the best punk/new wave stuff.
My fav album is definitely Argy Bargy, and best songs are definetly tempted, another nail in my heart, and pulling mussels from the shell. And no, they aren't emo, they're punk/new wave band from the 80s.
ive heard of them, oah yes! now i remember my parents have their record!

Bigger than Tempted?
Bigger than Tempted?
Not surprising I guess. I know Tempted enjoyed a resurgence back in the mid-90s after it was featured in the movie Reality Bites, but don't know how popular it was in the UK then.
I thought tempted was their biggest hit, correct me if im wrong, but CFC is an album, not a song.
My fave album is Around And About Live, when they reunited with Jools on piano.
Great band, Difford and Tilbrook were likened to Lennon and McCartney in there day due to the writing style.
Saw them live once supporting Bryan Adams, tehy rocked

"Tempted" is their biggest hit in terms of airplay now but their biggest hits in the U.S. in terms of chart success are "Hourglass" and "853-5937"--they both made the top 40. Too bad you never hear either of those anymore 'cos they're both good. I've also heard "Black Coffee In Bed" a couple times during an 80's weekend or something like that.

I hear Black Coffee In Bed quite a bit on XM radio.
Yet another reason to forgo terrestial radio.

Pieter got an XM radio for Christmas. It's pretty cool, but I drive him crazy switching between stations. I think my favorite may be #46 Top Tracks.

We bought our second receiver just before Christmas so we wouldn't fight over it anymore.
Been listening to Deep Tracks' A-Z countdown thingee since the new year began. Currently on Leon Russell's version of Jumpin Jack Flash.
