Haircut 100 performed their take on Harry Styles‘ global hit As It Was as part of BBC Radio 2’s Piano Room Month.
The new wave group performed a three-song set for the station, during which they also revisited two of their classic hits: Love Plus One and Fantastic Day.
“It’s a great song, isn’t it? [It’s] so catchy,” said frontman Nick Heyward when asked why they chose to cover As It Was.
During their heyday, the group released two albums between 1981-1984, with Nick featuring only on their debut ‘Pelican West’ (1982).
However, they’ve since reunited and it seems they’re here to stay: “We’re back together till death us do part. This is it for life now,” insists Nick. “It’s not just for Christmas, Haircut 100 is for life.”
Coinciding with an expanded 40th anniversary reissue of their first LP, due February 24, the group will play a show at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
