Getting Out of HandThe Bangles5rank/position

The Bangles – Getting out of Hand

The Bangles—an iconic band from Los Angeles who produced numerous hits in the 1980s like Manic Monday, Walk Like an Egyptian, and Eternal Flame (known in Japan as Mune Ippai no Ai)—dramatically elevated the status of girl bands and influenced many musicians.

After blazing through the glorious ’80s and disbanding to much regret, they pulled off a miraculous reunion in the 2000s and continue to perform actively as a fully-fledged band today.

While the Bangles are often associated with a pop image—cute yet glamorous looks and fashion paired with irresistibly catchy melodies and harmonies—their indie-era debut single, Getting Out of Hand, released in 1981 under the name THE BANGS, features a sound heavily influenced by 1960s genres like garage and surf rock.

If you look at the jacket of the 7-inch single from that time, the three members dressed in ’60s-style fashion are utterly charming and heartwarming! With guitarist Vicki Peterson handling both lyrics and composition, and the band producing the track themselves, it might be an intriguing theme to explore their position in indie rock history from the perspective of girl bands.
