The Vapors

The Vapors burst onto the UK music scene in 1980 with their infectious hit "Turning Japanese," a punchy new wave anthem that sparked debates about its lyrics while climbing charts worldwide. Hailing from Guildford, England, the band—fronted by singer/guitarist David Fenton—became synonymous with the mod revival movement, blending sharp power-pop hooks with wiry guitar energy on their debut album *New Clear Days*. Though they disbanded in 1982 after just two albums, their cult following kept their music alive. The Vapors surprised fans by reuniting in 2016, reigniting their signature sound with fresh energy. Recent years have seen them drop reimagined versions of classics like "Together (2021 Remix)" and playful new tracks like "Hey Baby It's Christmas (Live)," proving they’ve still got the quirky charm that made them 80s icons.
