The Eyes

Spherical Objects were an important representative of the Manchester, UK-based experimental independent post-punk scene of the late 70s (including other more or less experimental groups like The Passage, Steve Miro & The Eyes, Tirez Tirez and Grow Up). All these bands were hosted under the Object Music record label. Many of them shared musicians, thus the movement looked more like a musical collective (actually, there was indeed a Manchester Musicians Collective, started by Dick Witts of Passage).

Leader and heart of the band was Steve Solamar (real name Steve Scrivener), a distinct song/lyrics writer with a "terrible voice" (as many fans would say). However, this twisted voice adds even more to the idiosyncratic character of the music.
