The Soup Dragons - Whole Wide World (1986)

The Soup Dragons were:
Sean Dickson (vocals, guitar)
Jim McCulloch (guitar)
Sushil K. Dade (bass)
Paul Quinn (drums)

The band were formed in Belshill in 1985.

Reaching #2 in the UK Indie chart this track was released in 1986 on the Bristol based Subway Organization Record Label a UK based record label run from the home of Martin Whitehead of Bristol band, The Flatmates. To me this particular track sounds very punky almost similar in melody and attitude to the Buzzcocks.

By the latter part of the 80's their sound changed from an indie rock, to the rock-dance crossover. Their most successful hit single in the UK, "I'm Free", an up-tempo cover of a Rolling Stones song with an added toasting overdub by reggae star Junior Reid, which reached number five in the UK Charts.
