The Associates - MacKenzie and Rankine
Episode 11
Formed in 1979 by Billy MacKenzie and Alan Rankine, the Scottish post-punk band The Associates attained commercial and critical success by 1982 with the synth-pop and new-pop album, Sulk. Despite the accomplishments, various issues led to Rankine leaving the band while MacKenzie continued The Associates, but without achieving the same level of success.
This episode discusses the early years of the group and their music prior to the departure of Rankine in 1982.
