“Petulant” by Shriekback
From the album Care (1983)
“Petulant” by Shriekback appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2003. It was first released in 1983 on the album Care. Its best result is #1267 on the Fred XM Top 2044 Songs of All-Time (July 2003). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #5,769 alternative song of all time.
"Petulant" sits on Care, the 1983 record that was Shriekback's first full-length album, coming after Tench. The writing credit is split three ways between Dave Allen, Barry Andrews and Carl Marsh, and Ian Caple engineered it and lent a hand on the production.
The album's calling card was "Lined Up", a minor club hit, and Care itself only grazed the Billboard album chart, peaking at 188 during a three-week stay. Trouser Press was won over all the same, hailing a smart, well-produced and spirited debut and pointing out what XTC fans had known all along: Andrews ranks among rock's most original keyboard players.
