The Pastels - Up For a Bit With The Pastels

The Pastels are a group from Glasgow, Scotland, UK.

They have been described as an 'almost pop' group. As the description implies, the group have some pop elements but miss out on others, and have never charted. Their early records (1982-85) for labels like Whaam!, Creation, Rough Trade, and Glass Records, had a raw and immediate sound, melodic and amateur, which seemed all at odds with the time. But an emerging fanzine culture identified with the group's sound and image, and slowly The Pastels started to influence a new wave of groups, which interested the NME and other UK media.

Up for a Bit with The Pastels is the debut album by The Pastels, released in 1987. It was named the 37th best Scottish album by The Scotsman
