About this album

Babble is a sharp, politically charged indie rock album that showed That Petrol Emotion balancing melody with urgency. Released in 1987, the record pushed the Belfast-born band’s post-punk energy into tighter pop rock forms without losing its restless edge. Its clipped guitars, propulsive rhythms and vocal tension gave songs such as Big Decision and For What It’s Worth real bite, while the album’s broader political mood reflected the turbulence of its era. As an early statement from one of the more distinctive Irish alternative bands of the 1980s, Babble helped define the group’s reputation for intelligent, high-energy guitar music.
