Editorial Reviews So, too, was X-Ray Spex’s debut album, Germ Free Adolescents, which was great in spite of "Oh Bondage" not being on it. The songs were guitar-driven punk-pop that combined outrage and aggression with a sense of alienation and disenfranchisement about rampant commerciality and an increasingly sterile and artificial world. And that was it from X-Ray Spex. Like all the best punk bands, they burned brightly but not for long.

About the Artist
One of the great English punk bands of the late 70s, X-Ray Spex was formed in 1976 by school friends Marion Eliot (Poly Styrene) and Susan Whitby (saxophonist Lora Logic). They exploded onto the punk scene with one of the era’s great singles, the feminist punk rallying cry "Oh Bondage, Up Yours." With Logic’s sax stating the melody semi-tunefully and Jak Airport’s guitar laying down a wash of distorted chords, Styrene’s vocal, especially on the chorus, is a marvel, making this one of punk rock’s great moments.
