XTC

In 1978, XTC wanted to name their first LP 'Black Music,' but were talked out of the idea because U.K. listeners might think they were buying a soul record.

'This Is Pop' features extensive interviews with XTC members Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding, Terry Chambers and Dave Gregory.

The duo, now billed as TC&I, have reunited for 'Great Aspirations,' an EP of new recordings that promises to offer "some truly original stuff."

Trying to put together the best possible playlist for running through the city's sewers and fighting a homicidal, shape-shifting creature? The It soundtrack's got you covered.

The Dukes of Stratosphear were more than an endlessly fun XTC offshoot band.

Bookended by standoffs with Virgin Records, 'Nonsuch' found XTC trying new things.

Dealing with stress and withdrawal from a Valium regimen, Andy Partridge suffered a breakdown during an XTC show in Paris. The band would soon stop touring.

XTC blended arty post-punk, pop melodies and psychedelia over the course of 14 albums from 1978-2000.

The unique history of the legendary English new wave band will be explored in a documentary called 'This Is Pop.'

'English Settlement' has become one of XTC's most enduring releases—a record with much to explore and messages that feel enduring and resonant today.
