The Story
The Vapors is a British band known for their catchy blend of new wave and power pop. Active since 1979, they hail from the United Kingdom and made a splash with their infectious single "Turning Japanese." With Edward Bazalgette at the helm, their sound captures that unmistakable energy of the late '70s and early '80s, combining jangly guitars with clever lyrics. Though their initial run lasted until 1982, they left a lasting impression on the music scene. The charm of their tunes still resonates, making you tap your feet and sing along, even if it's been a while since you last heard them.
