The Bangles' debut LP, "All Over the Place," showcases the band's early promise with a collection of infectious, guitar-heavy pop-rock tracks. It's a raw, energetic statement that predates their later, more commercially successful hits.

The Bangles formed in Los Angeles in 1981, initially playing jangling, guitar-driven pop that drew from 1960s Paisley Underground influences. By the time of "All Over the Place," they had begun to hone the sharper, more polished pop-rock sound that would soon lead to major commercial success.
