The Loft

The Loft caused major ructions on the indie scene of the mid-80s by providing a Radio One single of the year with their debut, ‘Why Does The Rain’ and the fledgling Creation Records’ first ever number one with its follow up, ‘Up The Hill and Down The Slope’ before splitting up in a cloud of acrimony in front of 3,000 fans onstage at the Hammersmith Palais. Lauded by the Manic Street Preachers, the Wedding Present and REM, the band was recently tagged as ‘seminally seminal’ by Steve Lamacq and features in the award-winning 2010 movie ‘Upside Down – The Story Of Creation Records’.
