BOB

Bob was an indie pop band from North London, formed in 1986 by Richard Blackborow (vocals, keyboards), Simon Armstrong (guitar, vocals), Jem Morris (bass), and Gary Connors (drums). The group was known for its melodic guitar pop and became part of the C86 scene, which was a movement named after a cassette compilation released by the British music magazine NME. Bob released several singles and EPs throughout their career, often on their own label, House of Teeth. They gained a following through their energetic live performances and catchy tunes. Although they never achieved mainstream success, Bob maintained a loyal fan base and were respected within the indie music scene. The band eventually split in 1995 but left behind a legacy that included several albums and compilations that captured their distinct sound.
