Sweden’s first and best mod-revival band The Moderns mixed the love of 60’s pop with the intensity of punk and had the big breakthrough around the corner during the short but intense career, including support to Echo & The Bunnymen on their first English tour in 1980. The band’s first EP The Year of the Pop from 1979 is a classic. Along with the second single, songs from a couple of compilation albums and some completely unreleased tracks, here comes the definitive collection with The Modern’s first lineup.
