About this album
Searching For The Young Soul Rebels is Dexys Midnight Runners’ electrifying debut, a fierce fusion of new wave attitude and blue-eyed soul that announced one of the UK’s most distinctive bands. Released in 1980, it channels street-level urgency through punchy horns, propulsive rhythms and Kevin Rowland’s impassioned vocals, turning songs like Geno and There, There, My Dear into sharp, memorable statements. The album helped define early-’80s British pop by pairing political edge with dancefloor energy, and its raw conviction, singular style and breakthrough single success made it a landmark of the era.
