Haircut 100 - Boxing The Compass CD

THE BAND'S FIRST ALBUM WITH NICK HEYWARD IN 44 YEARS!

The original chapter of Haircut 100 beamed briefly yet brightly. They achieved the kind of success that they could have only dreamed of: four UK Top 10 hits, all of which were definitive '80s classics - 'Love Plus One', 'Fantastic Day, 'Favourite Shirts (Boys Meets Girl)' and 'Nobody's Fool' - followed by a debut album, 'Pelican West, which peaked at #2 during an eleven week run in the Top 10, in the process reaching Platinum status.

That was 42 years ago. But now after a lengthy absence, Haircut 100 are back: fueled by the power of friendship, a love of adventure, and the simple joy of seeing wherever their unexpected next chapter will take them. Their return now gathers pace after releasing their first new music in 40 years and announcing new album 'Boxing The Compass'.

Officially, the band's third album (a second record, minus Nick, 'Paint and Paint' released in 1984). A recognizably Haircut 100, but also far beyond a simple '80s throwback. With ideas emerging rapidly and spontaneously, colored by all of the influences that have emerged since the first time around, as well as being informed by the enthusiasm and top tier musicianship shown by the members of their live band.
