Biography

China Crisis, a band formed in 1979 near Liverpool, England, stood out in the new romantic scene of the early '80s with their mix of pop melodies, political undertones, and reggae influences. Their debut single "African and White" in 1982 caught the attention of Virgin Records, leading to chart success in the U.K. and the release of their debut album Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms. The band's follow-up album, Working with Fire and Steel: Possible Pop Songs, Vol. 2, garnered further success with hits like "Wishful Thinking."

With the release of their third album, Flaunt the Imperfection, in 1985, China Crisis reached new heights with producer Walter Becker of Steely Dan, resulting in hits like "Black Man Ray" and "King in a Catholic Style." Despite lineup changes and label shifts, the band continued to create music, including their seventh album Autumn in the Neighbourhood released in 2015. Their enduring legacy was recognized with the deluxe reissue of Working with Fire and Steel in 2017, showcasing their evolution and impact on the music scene.

China Crisis Marketing Affinity & Brand Fit Data

Report Date: 2025-08-15

China Crisis builds repeat engagement among 35-44 & 45-64 audiences throughout UNITED KINGDOM, ITALY, SPAIN. With a heavily male (80%) base, campaign framing can lean into status, style, and community. The sharpest reach is on Youtube (85,480 avg views per post), while Youtube provides social proof in comments and saves. Affinities with leading lifestyle names point to authentic extensions into streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products. Expect work that feels native to the timeline—not bolted on.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low
How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
