THE SOUP DRAGONS FORMED IN GLASGOW IN 1985, ISSUING A STRING OF PERFECT PUNK-POP SINGLES – WHOLE WIDE WORLD, HANG TEN, HEAD GONE ASTRAY, CAN’T TAKE NO MORE AND SOFT AS YOUR FACE – BEFORE REACHING WIDER ACCLAIM IN 1990 WITH A VERSION OF THE ROLLING STONES’ I’M FREE.
In this new edition of The Mouthcast, frontman Sean Dickson (now club DJ HiFi Sean) discusses QUITE CONTENT, the band’s contribution to SCARED TO GET HAPPY, which first appeared on an officially unreleased EP. He also looks back at the group’s early days and first gig, reveals the surprising inspiration for the double-grooved 12″ of SOFT AS YOUR FACE, and explains why an band’s indie sound matured into something much rockier by the time of 1988 debut album THIS IS OUR ART.
