Bronski Beat

Synth-pop
Synth-pop

Bronski Beat is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Suzi Quatro, Eartha Kitt, Neil Tennant, Donna Summer and Marc Almond. Those roots explain a lot about how Bronski Beat arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jimmy Somerville, Thompson Twins, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Alphaville and Ultravox, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Supermode, Die Antwoord, Steve Angello, José González and Kate Ryan, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 42 connections around Bronski Beat, reaching back through Suzi Quatro and forward to Supermode.
