The Circles
Emerging from the vibrant music scene of the West Midlands in the late 1970s, The Circles became a cornerstone of the mod revival movement. Blending the sharp style of 1960s mod icons with the raw energy of punk, their music captured the defiance and optimism of a generation. With influential tracks like “Opening Up” and “Angry Voices,” The Circles combined poignant storytelling with driving rhythms, establishing themselves as a voice for those seeking authenticity and connection during uncertain times.
