MP3 of the Day
Formed by Martin Whitehead (Subway Records) in 1985 in Bristol, England, THE FLATMATES started out playing Ramones covers. They eventually wrote enough original material to put a full set together and landed an opening slot for The Wedding Present (on only their second gig). The band went on to release six seven inch singles, and appeared on a number of compilations between 1986 - 89. Unfortunately, they disbanded before recording a proper full length album. Today's song is called Tell Me Why.

Oh! The Flatmates were the greatest. Everything I loved and love about indiepop in one small package. This isn't their best song but it's plenty good enough for me.
This is my first introduction to this band. They are fantastic!
Ben, go find "I Could Be in Heaven" (the flip of this) or "Happy All the Time" or "Heaven Knows" right away. This ain't the half of it.
Thanks! I will.
