Biography

Prefab Sprout, led by the acclaimed Paddy McAloon, is a beloved British pop band known for their smart, beautifully crafted music. With only ten albums in three decades, Prefab Sprout has a loyal following in both the UK and the US, exploring diverse influences from American music to stage musicals in their discography.

Formed in Newcastle in 1977, Prefab Sprout's early success led to hits like "The King of Rock and Roll" and critical acclaim for albums such as "Jordan: The Comeback." Despite challenges like lineup changes and health issues, McAloon's dedication to his craft resulted in standout releases like "Andromeda Heights" and "Let's Change the World with Music." Prefab Sprout's enduring appeal was further demonstrated with the reissue of McAloon's solo work under the band's name in 2019.
