Saw the full band twice in the 80s and then saw Peters' reconstituted version a few years back. Was saddened to hear of the death of their frontman, Mike Peters, this week.
We all have a soundtrack to our lives and, for me, The Alarm would definitely be featured. Just an honest and passionate band with a sound that resonated with me.
Peters dealt with cancer for many years, and formed a charity called Love Hope Strength foundation to raise funds and awareness. The charity's name comes from the band's second album, Strength, which features those three words in the lyrics of most of the songs, including the title track "
Give me love... give me hope... give me strength... give me someone to live for!RIP Mike Peters
