艺人介绍
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Led by vocalist/guitarist Dave Fenton, the Vapors were a short-lived new wave guitar group that is best known for the spiky pop single Turning Japanese. Fenton formed the first version of the Vapors in 1978, yet he was the only member to survive that lineup; in 1979, former Ellery Bops members Ed Bazalgette (lead guitar) and Howard Smith (drums) joined the band, and bassist Steve Smith came aboard shortly afterward. One of the bands first concerts was seen by the Jams Bruce Foxton, who asked them to perform on his groups Setting Sons tour. Before long, the Vapors were managed by Foxton and John Weller, the manager of the Jam, as well as the father of the groups leader, Paul Weller.
The Vapors signed to United Artists, releasing their first single, Prisoners, at the end of 1979; it failed to chart. Turning Japanese, the bands second single, became a major hit, reaching number three on the U.K. charts in March of 1980. New Clear Days, the bands debut album, was released two months later, which didnt sell as well as the single. In 1981, the Vapors released the more ambitious Magnets, yet it received lukewarm reviews and poor sales; the group disbanded shortly after its release.
