B-Movie

B-Movie are a new wave band from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England, initially active in the first half of the 1980s. The band's original line-up included vocalist/bassist Steve Hovington, guitarist Paul Statham, keyboardist Rick Holliday and drummer Graham Boffey. B-Movie's initial 1980 EP releases, the Take Three 7" and Nowhere Girl 12", were issued on the small UK indie label Dead Good Records. They were eventually signed to the Some Bizzare label, and their song "Moles" was featured on the original 1981 Some Bizzare Album.

==Links to Peel==
Peel first played B-Movie's track, Man On A Threshold, in 1980 from a various compilation album called East and a year later invited them to do a session for his show, where they performed four tracks. Their song, Remembrance Day, entered the 1981 Festive Fifty. Further tracks from the band were played by Peel, but by the time they released their debut album, Forever Running, in 1985, he had lost interest in them.
