Shuttered Room, the debut album from London's the Fixx, came out on MCA in 1982 with Rupert Hine producing, and it arrived fully formed: cool, taut new wave with a nervous edge, synthesizers and chiming guitars circling around a singer who sounds like he's delivering bad news with perfect composure.
"Stand or Fall" is the one that broke them in America, their first US single, a brooding, martial anthem that climbed into the Top 10 of Billboard's Album Rock Tracks and nudged the Hot 100 at number 79. "Red Skies" followed as the next single, all ominous atmosphere and a big, sky-wide chorus. Both songs got a lift from videos that MTV played heavily, and together they set the Fixx up for the bigger hits that were to come.
