I saw them in 1984 in Santa Cruz CA with U2 and Big Country. The Alarm stole the show. Loved them ever since. One of the members still Mike Peters still tours under the name The Alarm. The reviews I have read says that they still put on a great show.
They were all from Rhyl(SP?)

Ah lovely Rhyl - lots of problems there these days with drugs - more than most areas because it is on the North Wales / Liverpool corridor. Otherwise a lovely place (and I am not suggesting the Alarm were into drugs). They came just after the Punk explosion, second wave or something like that and I know were well respected. Never paid them much heed but I will get a download and give them a go.

Better late than never.!

I was combing my brain, trying to remember who The Alarm opened for when I saw them back in the 80s...U2! I can't recall much of anything from U2's time on stage, but The Alarm put on a hell of a show.
