Haircut 100 is a British new wave band formed in 1980 by Nick Heyward, Les Nemes, Graham Jones, and Patrick Hunt. Best known for their upbeat and melodic sound, the band quickly gained popularity in the early 1980s with their debut album, "Pelican West," which featured hit singles like "Love Plus One" and "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)." Their distinctive music, characterized by catchy hooks and jangly guitar riffs, placed them firmly within the post-punk and new wave movements of the time. Despite their initial success, the band experienced internal tensions, leading to Nick Heyward's departure in 1983, after which the group struggled to maintain their earlier momentum. Nonetheless, Haircut 100 remains a beloved icon of the 1980s musical landscape, celebrated for their vibrant and youthful energy.
