'The Sun Shines Here' captures perfectly the moment indie pop emerged from the ashes of the post-punk years, bringing a brighter, more ambitious sound, and an enthused cross-section of British youth culture, into the spotlight. A must for lovers and collectors of independent music and admirers of the independent spirit that enabled it.

In 2013, Cherry Red released the widely acclaimed 5CD collection, 'Scared To Get Happy', documenting the evolution of independent pop across the '80s, from its roots in post-punk through the so-called C86 scene and beyond.

Eight years later, Cherry Red presents the sequel, 'The Sun Shines Here'. Once again referencing a Hurrah! song, this 3CD set revisits and explores the birth of Indie Pop, a period when, in the early 1980s, as London centred around more angular, aggressive music, bands emerged from Scotland, Liverpool and Manchester drawing on the cooler end of '60s and '70s music to create something fresh and new.
