Truthdare Doubledare, Bronski Beat's second album, came out in 1986, and it's the sound of a band carrying on after losing its most recognizable asset. Jimmy Somerville walked out of the London trio in 1985, and John Foster stepped up to the microphone for this record, his first and, as it turned out, his last with the group. Steve Bronski, the one member present in every line-up, kept the synthesizers pulsing.
The songs stay in the band's electro-pop groove: bright, bouncy sequencers, a relentless pulse and hooks built for the dance floor. "Hit That Perfect Beat" is the one that connected, a jubilant, club-ready rush, and with Foster singing the band kept scoring hits in Britain and Europe right through 1986.
