Boston, United States (1982 – present)
After The break up of The Young Snakes, ’Til Tuesday,an American new wave band, was formed in Boston in 1982. Its original lineup was bassist/vocalist Aimee Mann, guitarist/vocalist Robert Holmes, keyboardist Joey Pesce, and drummer Michael Hausman.
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.

It's weird to see that so little scrobbles. I honestly thought they were a hugely popular new wave band in the 80s. I even distinctively remember hearing "Voices Carry" on the classic rock radio stations a ton of times. Just kinda shocked.

'Everything's Different Now' is an absolutely fantastic record, and it's a damned shame that 'Til Tuesday don't get more recognition. The stuff on the third and final album blows 'Voices Carry' away, in my humble opinion.

"Voices Carry" wasn't their best song. It was their most commercial work, with "single appeal" from the days when they sold singles on 45 rpm vinyl. The rest of the album, however, is really incredible, as are the albums that follow it. Aimee is amazing as a solo act, but the angst caused by the whole relationship-breakup-thing is what made `Til Tuesday such a great band. Just like with Fleetwood Mac, their best work came when they all hated to work together because the relationships were falling apart. Aimee's not as ethereal now.

How old was Aimee Mann in 1982? Eight? They were a good band. I love her as a solo act.

I'm a sucker for 80s music, so I love Voices Carry regardless. Managed to find half of Everything's Different Now on Ruckus but no such luck for the other tracks! Already knew (Believed You Were) Lucky, probably my favourite song ever.

'Til Tuesday were as mainstream after Voices Carry (song) as Aimee Mann is now. which means: not at all. they were actually very respected - despite Aimee's hair - and deservedly so. i agree that the Voices Carry album is their least good (haven't listened to it in ages). I love the other two. Welcome Home is one of my favorite albums ever, actually.
