Getting Urgent With Johnny Foreigner

johnnyforeigner.jpgOften, when we post videos they’re either brand new or nostalgia-baiting old. This will be an exception. Johnny Foreigner is a U.K. trio whose new single, “Our Bipolar Friends,” has recently landed in the U.K. Indie Chart–not in itself a big deal (the U.K. indie chart changes over by about half every week), but when I checked the song out I loved it immediately, played it for friends, etc. It’s a snappy, spazzy indie zoomer–not unlike a British Thermals (especially given the female bassist/co-lead singer), though far more early-’90s. (Maybe this is a nostalgia post.) Anyway, below are a couple of YouTube items, one the earlier song “Camp Kelly Calm,” the second a bit from a program on England’s Channel 4 featuring an interview and some live songs, including “Bipolar.”
