Boston, United States (1982 – present)
The group first gained fame six months after its formation when it won radio station WBCN’s battle of the bands competition in 1983. Their original composition “Love In A Vacuum” (credited to all members of the group) received a fair amount of airplay on the station, and the group was eventually signed to Epic Records.
“Love In A Vacuum” was re-recorded for the Epic debut album, 1985’s Voices Carry; however the breakthrough song turned out to be the title track. The “Voices Carry” single peaked at US #8, and is said to have been inspired by an argument between Mann and Hausman, who had broken off a relationship before the album’s release.
The band became an early MTV staple with the “Voices Carry” video, which depicts an oppressive boyfriend trying to convert Mann to his upper-class lifestyle; she finally lashes out at him during a concert at Carnegie Hall, standing up from her seat in the audience and belting the lyrics, “He said, shut up! He said, shut up! Oh God, can’t you keep it down?…” as she removes her cap to reveal her signature spiky, rat-tailed hair. As a result, the group won that year’s MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist.
By the 1986 follow-up Welcome Home, Mann was beginning to write more of the songs herself and the band was moving away from the slick New Wave sound of their debut.
