English post-punk band 'Medium Medium' released one of my favourite songs of that genre or era... it was "Hungry So Angry" from 1981 and was released on the influential Cherry Red indie label. It is one of the few rock songs where sax actually works well... in my opinion, although, sax was used quite prominently during the post-punk era. This was possibly around the time punk and new wave started to get funky. Dance music was starting to work it's way slowly into the punk ethos and was eventually accepted by the fans. "Hungry So Angry" was even a minor hit on the disco charts.... but check out the finger popping bass and you will have to agree it deserved that chart placing.
