Television Personalities

Musical Group

English post-punk/indie band led by Daniel Treacy, noted for mixing post-punk urgency with 1960s/psychedelic influences and fragile, literate songwriting.

Formed in the late 1970s, Television Personalities were led by Daniel Treacy, who served as the primary songwriter and constant member. The band's sound frequently references Syd Barrett-era psychedelia alongside post-punk and indie pop.

DeBaser's reviews emphasise Television Personalities' blend of post-punk urgency, 1960s/Barrett-like psychedelia and fragile, often melancholic songwriting by Daniel Treacy. Reviews range from enthusiastic celebration of early work to measured appraisals of later records. The overall reception is admiring, with recurring references to Syd Barrett and the group's distinctive lo-fi charm.

For:Fans of post-punk, indie pop, psychedelic-tinged guitar music and those interested in Syd Barrett-influenced songwriting.

 What a wonder!!! The chirping at "Birdie hop," the intermittent voice of the fireflies, the affectionate and parodistic ooohhhh.
