THE POP GROUP
However one might describe their music, the Pop Group most certainly were not a pop group, and while they rose to popularity as the first wave of British punk had yet to break, they weren't really punk either, through their aggressive fusion of funk, noise, dub, free jazz, proto-punk, post-beat poetics, and untold volumes of forbidden knowledge could probably have only coalesced in 1977, a time when the rules of rock and its subgenres seemed to have been temporarily suspended in the U.K. The Pop Group were formed in Bristol, a city in Southwest England, in 1977 by Mark Stewart...

SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Abrasive, but interesting, the Pop Group's debut is perhaps the most succinct summation of their angry
and defiant approach to rock & roll. Although at times resembling the discordant funk of fellow post-punk
radicals Gang of Four, the Pop Group leave rhythm behind almost as quickly as they find it, and the result
is a clattering din of sound resembling an aural collage. The longish, guitar-driven track
"We Are Time" is the strongest cut, establishing a solid groove that won't let go...(AllMusic)
