The Return of the Sacred Crab by The Soft Boys (1979)


A lot of successful solo musicians usually started in a band. Oftentimes, that band was more exciting than the solo career that followed. To me, that is the case here with Robyn Hitchcock's first band, The Soft Boys.

The boys' first album, A Can of Bees, is a perfect example of post-punk snarkiness. I say post-punk because the band is a bit tighter than most "punk" bands of the era.

Check out this complexly titled track from their debut release.
