Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Exkursions formed in London's Camden Town in the late 1970s, originally with Alex Windsor on vocals, James Carter on keyboards, Sarah Jones on bass, and Mark Richards on drums. They worked in a space between synth-pop and new wave, with Carter handling production duties.
Their 1981 single 'Would You Believe?' became their breakout track, catching attention with its melodic hooks and keyboard textures. The song's lyrics touched on social themes that sometimes drew criticism from conservative listeners.
After that point, the band maintained a presence through the early 1980s, though their output remained relatively modest compared to some of their contemporaries. They never quite replicated the chart impact of 'Would You Believe?' but kept working in their particular corner of the London scene.
