"John White has been UV POP since the 80s, and he’s gone from being a gaunt youth hunched over a guitar with only backing tapes behind him to being in a full band that has his wife as a member, but he’s never stopped. The first two LPs go for over $100 on Discogs, but John doesn’t see any of that—he’s just a humble boy from the small mining town of Doncaster who repairs guitars, eats weird stuff and plays what he wants how he wants to studio audiences in his kitchen. Sacred Bones reissued the first UV POP 7” from 1982, and will be reissuing the first LP, No Songs Tomorrow, early this year. This interview by Howe Strange.

"UV Pop ist das 1981 von John K. White gegründete Musikprojekt, das sich seither von der »Ein-Mann-plus-Revox«-Besetzung zur »Comeback«-Band ausgewachsen hat. Die Entwicklung von UV Pop lässt sich etappenweise mit dem »Sound of Sheffield« nachzeichnen: in der Frühphase treibt das Elektronikexperiment wie bei Cabaret Voltaire (Produzenten der ersten UV Pop Single), wenn auch überwiegend in melancholischen Tönen. John K. White schreibt damals Hitsongs für die Wave-Fangemeinde von heute (»No Songs Tomorrow«, »Sleep Don't Talk« 1982/83). Später heißen die Stationen John Peel und Artery (White als Tour-Gitarrist), und der Sound tendiert Mitte der Achtziger in Richtung eines geerdeteren Postpunk-Songwritings mit Gitarrendominanz (»Serious« 1986), vergleichbar den Comsat Angels oder Monochrome Set. Diesem historisch essentiellen Szenebeitrag nahm man sich bei Genetic Music in Form dieses LP/EP-Rereleases auf CD an. Eine wichtige Wiederentdeckung für die alternative Musikwe"  Michael Giebl, Skug

"Here’s a slice of future-pop from the past in the shape of a bumper CD of reissued material from the north of England’s early-’80s indie pop oracles UV POP. A few tracks in and this is sounding like some kind of middle ground between REM and Spandau Ballet. Totally slick tunes with nostalgically melancholy melodies. ‘Feels Like Winter’ sounds more than a little like The Smiths. The Bendy Baby Man LP is followed here by the Anyone For Me EP, where they seem to take more of a David Bowie/Psychedelic Furs/early Cure sort of approach to their slightly goth-tinged pop. People who wish music still sounded like that will be delighted to be able to pick up this disc full of music from back when music did sound like that."  Our Mike, Norman Records
