Description: “Westworld were an anomaly in the mid 80s, when they first appeared as an unsigned band with a memorable promo clip on The Tube. Eschewing the synth dominated bland-out sounds that had moved in to replace the punk edge in the music scene, they weren’t afraid to wear their rock’n’roll roots on their sleeves – and also unafraid to embrace the best elements of the new technologies available, without forgetting the power of the electric guitar to make a statement.

Formed by former Generation X guitarist Derwood, in combination with acoustic rhythm guitarist Nick Burton, the band was fronted by American Elizabeth Westwood, whom Derwood had heard singing in another band in a shared rehearsal complex that he was working at. The chemistry was instant and Westwood’s vocals and striking image were the vital ingredient needed to break the band. Mixing Bo Diddley beats, classic rock’n’roll riffery and elements of hip hop and sampled sounds, the band produced a string of instantly memorable singles.”—Mark Mcstea, Louder Than War
