The Bangles Artist Snapshot:

Inspired by great 1960s West Coast bands like the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, the Bangles brought a jangly Rickenbacker folk-rock flavor to '80s rock. The L.A.-based band had its own top-notch songwriters in Susanna Hoffs and Debbi Peterson, but most of their biggest hits came with outside material by Prince ("Manic Monday"), Jules Shear ("If She Knew What She Wants"), Simon & Garfunkel ("Hazy Shade of Winter"), and Liam Sternberg ("Walk Like an Egyptian"). The Bangles broke up at the end of the '80s, but reunited in 2000, and eventually released an album of new material, DOLL REVOLUTION.

Review

Q (7/93, p.104) - 3 Stars - Good - "...[In 1984] The Bangles' debut album was hinting at the quartet's potential as a kind of post-punk surfing Shangri-Las...[the album] has an identity forged not only in its impressive harmonies and spiky Rickenbackers but in the strangeness of Bangles' songs..."
CMJ (1/5/04, p.14) - Ranked #9 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1984"

Title Note

Also available in a 3-pack with A DIFFERENT LIGHT and EVERYTHING.

The Bangles: Susanna Hoffs, Vicki Peterson (vocals, guitar); Michael Steele (vocals, bass); Debbi Peterson (vocals, drums).

Recorded at Crystal Sound, Skyline Recorders and Sound Castle, Los Angeles, California.

The first full-length by this underappreciated Los Angeles quartet--as well as their first album to feature sterling bassist/vocalist Michael Steele, replacing original member Annette Zillinkas--ALL OVER THE PLACE is a masterpiece of '80s power pop, and one of the best, most rocking albums of the decade. Kicking off with the no-nonsense beat-pop of "Hero Takes A Fall," perhaps the group's best single ever, ALL OVER THE PLACE lives up to its title, ranging from tough rockers like "Tell Me" to moodier tracks like "James," a fantastic reading of Kimberley Rew's "Going Down To Liverpool," and a languid, defeatist rewrite of "Hey Joe" (that in Vicki Peterson and Susanna Hoffs' delicate, nuanced vocals turns into a complete heartbreaker). The album's other cover, the Merry-Go-Round's '60s nugget "Live," did much to reintroduce its author, McCartneyesque auteur Emmitt Rhodes, to a new pop generation. This album is essential power pop.
