Altered Images - the Scottish new wave, post-punk band that first found fame and chart success as a quintet in the early '80s - are back, with their first album in 39 years, Mascara Streakz.Official Charts takes a look back on the band's varied career, and reveals for the first time Altered Images' Official Top 10 most-streamed songs in the UK.
Formed in Glasgow in 1979, schoolfriends Clare Grogan (vocals), Gerard "Caesar" McInulty (guitar), Michael "Tich" Anderson (drums), Tony McDaid (guitar), and Johnny McElhone (bass guitar) were invited to play with British rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees, after they took a punt and sent a demo to the band's manager.
