Page "Au Pairs (band)" Paragraph 1

Their first album Playing with a Different Sex is considered a post-punk classic with strong, sarcastic songs like " It's Obvious " and " We're So Cool " taking a dry look at gender relations.

Other songs, such as " Armagh " with its refrain, " we don't torture " took a pro-republican look at the then ongoing Troubles in Northern Ireland, which caused some controversy at the time.

The band performed in 1980 for the concert film Urgh!

A Music War.
