Pop Wallpaper has been played on NTS in shows including The One Glove Breakfast Show w/ Macca, featured first on 18 February 2021. Songs played include Strawberry Letter 23, SL24 (Pigeon Steve Mix) and SL23 (Demo Version).

Pop Wallpaper were formed in around 1981 in Stirling, Scotland, with the original line-up of Evan Henderson (guitar/vocals), David Evans (guitar), Stephen Hunter (bass) and Les Cook (drums). The band gigged locally to much critical acclaim and moved their base to Edinburgh in 1982 with a final line-up of Audrey Redpath (vocals), Evan Henderson (guitar), David Evans (guitar), Myles Raymond (bass), Les Cook (drums, keyboards) and John McVay (sax, keyboards).

During the course of their life, the band played throughout Scotland, supporting the likes of Lloyd Cole & The Commotions and, bizarrely, Afrikka Bambaatta & The Soulsonic Force, building up a solid fan-base.

The first EP was released in 1984 and was a 3-track single headed up by "Over Your Shoulder". This single had extensive radio play on BBC Radio 1 on the John Peel and Janice Long shows, leading to a Janice Long session recorded at the BBC in London.

This was followed by a second single in 1986, a double-A side featuring a cover of the Shuggie Otis song "Strawberry Letter 23" and "Nothing Can Call Me Back". Again these received a fair amount of airplay, but unfortunately little commercial success outwith their core base in Edinburgh.
