Guten Morgan, all you Welsh types.
This week we have one of the many bands to split Wizard opinion, the fantastic Sparks (I may have given away my position here) with a song from the much missed White Room TV show (does anyone still watch Later?) and Brummie pop punks The Spizzles / Spizzoil / Athletico Spizz 80 / Spizzenergi led by, er, Spizz on their best known number.
As always let us know what you think might link the two.
A nod in the direction of Terry Bull for some excellent trainspottery.
Both bands start with the same 2 letters.
See also Sparklehorse, Spacemen 3, Spandau Ballet.
It’s probably not that simple though.
Is the link something to do with Siouxsie & the Banshees? They did a cover of the Sparks song and I’m sure there’s some kind of Siouxsie / Spizz link?
You’re right! It’s not that simple.
The key to the link is in the Sparks video.
