X-Ray Spex are an English punk band from London that formed in 1976.

During their first incarnation (1976 - 79), X-Ray Spex were “deliberate underachievers” and only managed to release five singles plus one album. Nevertheless, their first single, "Oh Bondage, Up Yours!", is now acknowledged as a classic punk rock single and the album, Germ Free Adolescents, is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest albums of all-time.

X-Ray Spex were a wonderful, shambling, musical mess of rebellion, fashion and fun. Main muse Poly Styrene danced, yelped, screamed and sang over the joyful noise belted out by her punchy buzzsaw’n’biscuit-tin band while fighting off Laura Logic’s sax honks from stage left - all with a smile of pure glee.
