You know what, I was sat last night thinking the list of songs on the soundtrack was good, but not quite as good as I remembered. Maybe I was just impressed at an american film including The Clash, The Specials and The Beat.

Then I thought 'hang on, there was definitely a Cure track and an Echo & The Bunnymen track in the film'

So I've looked deeper.

  1. "Blister in the Sun" - Violent Femmes (2:08)
