I thought during the current mini-pop binge I'd revisit and re-rip the Intaferon singles to 24-bit and apart from Baby Pain, they sound just great. It baffles me how these chaps avoided pop stardom - these singles are quite popular among eighties pop aficionados however for some reason Chrysalis couldn't get them in the charts, despite the help of Max Headroom! Anyway, here you are, here's the entire Intaferon discography in glossy high res quality - well except for my very crackly bargain bin copy of Baby Pain!!

Jolly Fellows

Intaferon's dent on pop history is tiny (just three singles) and they were only every to encroach on the very lower echelons of the British Top 100. As you would expect from anything with Martin Rushent's fingerprints, these are two powerful and catchy synthy poppy numbers but both suffer from overworked remixes adorning the a-sides, an unfortunate mid-eighties phenomenon. Please don't let that put you off. Get Out Of London kicks you out of town in the style of an eighties parody of Subterranean Homesick Blues with some very clever lyrical play.

If you ever wanted to know what Brian and Michael covering Test Department sounds like, then I guess Steamhammer Sam would come close. Or, I could tell you this is a serious tale of the desolation of Britain's manufacturing by an over zealous right wingThatcher-led government keen to crush the power of the working class majority, disguised as a pop song sponsored by Brighouse and Rastrick. In case anybody was asking, I never purchased Baby Pain.
