Song of the Day # 122 - Strawberry Switchblade

 
Early Orange Juice fans, they took their name from an Alan Horn fanzine intended to publicise that band which never actually came out. They signed to the Korova label, a subsidiary of WEA which also housed the Bunnymen. Had a Top Ten hit with Since Yesterday in 1985. That's a good enough song, but I prefer this, their first single. About lead singer Jill Bryson's agoraphobia. This came out in 1983 on Bunnymen guitarist Will Sergeant's 92 Happy Customers label
