This is one invigorating, pop, punk, new wave, one hit, fun song. Orange Juice was the biggest thing at the time in Scotland and no wonder. Wouldn't you love to party with baby face Edwyn Collins or goof off on the streets wearing crazy outfits like they do in their video?
Despite the clearly eighties vibe, Rip It Up actually sounds quite contemporary – were they ahead of their time or are new bands just mining the past?
But what do you think?
