The Story
Altered Images is a new wave band from the United Kingdom, featuring the distinctive vocals of Clare Grogan and the melodic guitar work of Johnny McElhone. Active since 1979, they've carved a niche in the early ’80s pop scene with their catchy melodies and engaging lyrics. Their notable tracks include “Happy Birthday” and “I Could Be Happy,” both of which showcase their knack for blending upbeat rhythms with a touch of post-punk edge. With a sound that captures both the playful and the poignant, Altered Images delivers a refreshing take on pop music that still invites a nostalgic smile from those who remember their rise.
