Power pop/new wave band the Yachts was formed in 1977 by Liverpool art-schoolmates <a href="spotify:artist:56VzPMYa9VN3Gq1uDrcyO7">Henry Priestman</a> (vocals, keyboards), Martin Watson (guitar, vocals), Martin Dempsey (bass, vocals), Bob Bellis (drums, vocals), and J.J. Campbell (vocals). They signed to Stiff Records after a supporting spot for <a href="spotify:artist:2BGRfQgtzikz1pzAD0kaEn">Elvis Costello</a> in 1977, releasing the endlessly catchy "Suffice to Say" single (produced by Will Birch) and then following <a href="spotify:artist:2BGRfQgtzikz1pzAD0kaEn">Costello</a> to Radar Records. The group issued two power pop classics -- Yachts (1979) and Yachts Without Radar (1980) -- before disbanding in the early '80s when the genre fell from favor. ~ Chris Woodstra, Rovi
