Sinatras

The Sinatras (named after Frank Sinatra) were an English indie band from Leicester and their first and most well known single, Happy Feeling came out in 1980 as a 7" single. The band released a handful of singles on the Dining Out label and on Empire, later called Strike Back records who they joined in 1982. The band played post-punk pop, and seem to have been influenced by Shriekback, Talking Heads and early Yello.
