The Alarm - Where Were You Hiding When The Storm Broke

[@christophereast8268]

I was in a dark place in the mid 80's which was when I found this group. I played their music everyday on my Walkman! They gave me the strength to carry on!

[@tomt6142]

what happened?

[@mineralt]

One of the most underrated bands of that era.

[@johnpayne6860]

Hey, you loved the music, and You, loved the way, the band, showed the world patriotism, especially, at such a time in America! Their music, lifted you're spirit! And hopefully many others, I know it did mine!

[@tomt6142]

One of the most underrated bands OF ALL TIME

[@kevinwaldron2562]

IMHO - I thought that these guys were way better than their contemporaries U2.

[@SteveAbbott-Channel]

What a brlliant band,,,Excellent music

[@angelasaunders8182]

We love your raw talent, your incredible energy and your voice and your music . thank you for being you and giving all your fans so much pleasure xxxxxxx

[@notnow2062]

Love it- can’t remember how many times my neighbours complained after a night on the town…..

[@williammain4769]

Selling out is the cardinal sin!!!! What a band.

[@IqbalHamid]

Sinning with a safety net.

[@cathyskywalker77]

Saw The Alarm back in the mid 80s at Toad's Place in New Haven CT. Great show!!!!💖💖💖💖

[@phoenixnyc]

This was their best, I think.

[@phillipabond8044]

I love them. And Mike Peters was a man ahead of his time as is evidenced by the fact that he is dressed as Woody from Toy Story decades before the film was made.

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

good point

[@danielscissorhands]

LOL

[@stanssoapbox]

Lol.

[@abelesser69]

Lmfao

[@lisabowell143]

Mike Peters was a shit for what he did to the rest of the band.

[@JamesBond-lq7bs]

Listened to an interview from probably early 80s with Steve Marriott from The Small Faces who when asked if any of the band's around today impressed him paused , thought about it , seemed a little uncertain and then blurted ou The Alarm, praise indeed.

[@stephenhudd7721]

Simply the Best band ever!

[@ErinFaery]

Wonderful, "fantabulous",spell-binding! They make you want to change the world.

[@disastromortale]

GRANDI......anni bellissimi......GRAZIE a the Alarm....FOREVER...by ITALY

[@stewartellinson8846]

They were such a good live band - saw them at the Pontrhyfendegaid pavilion (a glorified village hall in the middle of nowhere) in about 1988; it was packed to the rafters and they damn near took the roof off the place; more energy than you can ever imagine.

[@liz8862]

Love the Alarm .. saw them in Boston many years ago.. brings back great memories!

[@TypeOneg]

Elizabeth Spirito Saw them in Boston twice and Worcester once......

[@gringosuave41]

Saw them in Chicago, 1985. Going to see them tonight at The Tupelo in Derry, NH. I'm so excited!

[@WobblinGoblin1]

I was there last Wednesday nite, but it wasn't "The Alarm" I saw. It was Mike Peters, his wife, and two musicians on stage. Glad I went, but to call them "The Alarm" is a disservice to "The Alarm."

[@gringosuave41]

Indeed. I wasn't disappointed, but it was not what I expected.

[@bigvern626]

After all these years I still love that song !

[@josephkavanagh7055]

Man this is a great band. Political awareness that you can dance to I used to have all their albums, then all their tapes. But that was decades ago.

[@squirrelattackspidy]

I can hear the passion when they sing their lyrics. Great stuff.

[@LarzGustafsson]

Fantastic band. Great tune.

[@ianjenkins4117]

All things come in three's..1: I saw them on Top Of The Pops doing this.2: I was hooked and bought everything they released. 3: Was an original member of their fan club and saw them over 100 times. 4: Winds Howl.... Shame on you Mike Peters for ru uniting the band without any of the other 3. You're a No.1 "Let The Bell End Ring Piece".

[@bryanwilliams8759]

Awesome, looking forward to the St David's Day gig in the Cardiff Student Union.

[@daverindone655]

Heard this in Boston in July, still amazing. Got a card, too.

[@drjmankx37]

Brilliant song

[@drewastolfi6840]

Excited to see them again - the last time was 1991, I think.

[@1kurto]

Selling out is a cardinal sin! I used to bust this tune back in the day

[@SpikyMagpie]

Love this song!

[@MichaelMarko]

Fantastic!

[@15chipshops]

Top Top Tune!, Still have the "7 Vinyl, Would love someone to post the B-Side "Pavilion Steps", one of their best!

[@abelesser69]

November 2018 and I'm Still MARCHING ON

[@MrKristianOJ]

Love it!!

[@traffsigs]

Awesone tune

[@brit50ify]

Brilliant 80s. The Alarm and Jam owned this genre.

[@underock4]

Two of my favourite bands..........both great live and fantastic songwriters. Not a band in last 20 years, that could hold a candle to them imo.

[@stevenboswell7536]

These guys came from a 15 minute walk from my pen pal in Rhyl.North Wales.she stayed in Abergele.great tune.bad haircuts.Steven Boswell.edinburgh

[@pottingshedgene]

did a gig with Dave Sharp a few years ago. We got tanked...

[@tomt6142]

He got money?

[@darrenwilson8042]

The Best

[@kitiara50]

I miss you!

[@frankszappaschin]

what year was this , remember watching it before it hit the charts on swap shop or Saturday superstore { uk kids tv on Saturday morning in the 70s - 80s}

[@rjjcms1]

Out as a single near the start of 1984.

[@ianholmes3761]

Saw them manchester Apollo 1986 did about 10 on cores.

[@johnharris5252]

[@bgierat]

[@swabbubba22]

The Alarm always on my devices

[@tarajennings2735]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

[@lockwood645]

No chance against Bono,but the more honest heart

[@jimlarkin7859]

This song is about to blow up again imo. Seems pretty fuckin spot on… if u know u know NCSWIC!!!!

[@ajaxonly]

All cards are marked, but you can still win!

[@davidball1816]

Tunnnnnnnnnnnne.😀

[@grahamcheesman2252]

David Ball play there song the deciever it's equally sublime

[@BillKinggarak99]

The only time I purchase cards is when there is a Alarm Gig on my Schedule

[@TypeOneg]

Bill King only a fan would know what you’re talking about...me too!!! Lol

[@bardo0007]

Underrated band , they should have become as huge as U2 . Unfortunatelly Peters decided to leave the original band.

[@struszka]

Thwy did some hymns...it didn't really concern me bit the message got over

[@CatapultYourMom]

I loved Haircut 100!

[@johnpayne6860]

American Bandstand 1978, I guess, never will forget it, boy I tell you what I was so much younger then I'm older than that, NOW!

[@phoebecarter8269]

The lead singer reminds me of Gordon Ramsey for some reason

[@thefoxhat6163]

I was thinking Richard Dean Anderson as McGyver

[@8bitrocketstudios]

Gordon and Mike know one another. 68 Guns was his Cell phone ring tone for a while.

[@JasNDCSC]

@sidbolero Have you ever actually listened to any of the three bands you find so unappealing?

[@scotblair]

Wirhout them no rancid

[@ErinFaery]

Then, what are you doing here?

[@br4ndxn3w]

how anyone, ANYONE could say that the alarm is unappealing is beyond me. you must have a terrible taste in music.
