X-Ray Spex

X-Ray Spex are an English punk band formed in 1976, fronted by Poly Styrene and known for the single "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" and the 1978 album Germfree Adolescents.

The band's early line-up featured saxophonist Lora Logic; she left early and later formed Essential Logic. The group's sound is notable for Poly Styrene's distinctive voice and prominent saxophone in punk arrangements.

A passionate, nostalgic DeBaser review that celebrates X-Ray Spex's "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" and Poly Styrene's voice. The reviewer highlights Lora Logic's sax at the Roxy and calls the single (and live version) sublime. The piece mixes personal memory and punk history.
