That album spawned "I Melt With You" and brought Modern English up from the underground to the mainstream. On 1982's After the Snow, the band's sound evolved into a more commercial and radio friendly mix of synthesizers, guitars, catchy drumbeats and singer Robby Grey's unmistakable vocals. Mesh & Lace, the band's 1981 full-length debut, reveals that long before the band conquered the airwaves, it was churning out dark, moody and challenging post-punk that rivaled such peers as The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen and their then-4AD labelmates Bauhaus. Yet Modern English was no mere one-hit wonder. It garnered heavy rotation on the then-thriving Modern Rock radio format, MTV and dance clubs across the globe, and was featured prominently in the classic 1983 film Valley Girl, staring a young Nicholas Cage. LOS ANGELES – Simply put, "I Melt With You" by Modern English is one of the most iconic songs of the New Wave-era.
