The Church

Tags: new wave , post-punk , 80s

The Church is an 'alternative rock' band which formed in Sydney, Australia in 1980. Initially linked in with 'neo-psychedelia' acts of the period, their music later became largely defined by the interplay of guitarists 'Marty Willson-Piper' and 'Peter Koppes' coupled with the abstract lyrics of bassist/singer 'Steve Kilbey'. Their debut album, 'Of Skins And Heart' (1981), earned them their first radio hit "'The Unguarded Moment'". They were originally signed to EMI's Parlophone label, but record company dissatisfaction led to them being dropped overseas, which limited their exposure early on.
