Ultravox

Initially a self-confessed emulator of Roxy Music from 1974 under the name Tiger Lily, Ultravox briefly converted to punk with Ultavox! andHa!-Ha!-Ha! both released in 1977. Ultravox had no trouble turning the corner on new wave and synth pop in 1980 with the brilliant Vienna. A member of the short-lived neo-romantic movement for a time, Ultravox soon fell into a certain pop mannerism with Rage in Eden (1981) and Quartet (1982). The band's success - mainly in the UK - continued until U-Vox in 1986, before it continued without most of its original members until 1994. The historic line-up returned in 2009 for the Return to Heaven Tour, resulting in the public recordingReturn to Heaven - Live at the Roundhouse in 2010. Brilliant in May 2012 marks Ultravox's return with new compositions.
