Synth-pop
Synth-pop

Bronski Beat is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Labour of Love, Eartha Kitt, Suzi Quatro, Neil Tennant and Donna Summer. 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, Alphaville, Ultravox and Fine Young Cannibals, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Sun Always Shines on T.V., New Order, Buck 65, The Big Machine and Supermode, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 35 connections around Bronski Beat, reaching back through Labour of Love and forward to The Sun Always Shines on T.V..
