The Blow Monkeys, que rechazaban la pompa y el dramatismo de los nuevos románticos, formaban parte de una escena de principios de los ochenta que llenaba los elegantes bares de vinos británicos con un pop sofisticado, arty y conmovedor. Llenos de solos de saxofón y letras sensuales, el grupo -formado en 1981 en Londres, Inglaterra- estaba liderado por el cantautor Dr. Robert (Robert Howard). Lanzaron su primer sencillo en 1982 y empezaron a atraer la atención del gran público con la publicación en 1984 de su álbum de debut, Limping for a Generation (1984). El grupo se convirtió en una sensación comercial en 1986 con el lanzamiento de su álbum Animal Magic y el sencillo "Digging Your Scene ", una canción que abordaba el controvertido tema del sida y su efecto en la comunidad gay. El álbum y el sencillo también obtuvieron buenos resultados en Estados Unidos. El mayor éxito de los Blow Monkeys en el Reino Unido fue "It Doesn't Have To Be This Way", que alcanzó el número 5 en 1987. La canción se extrajo de su exitoso álbum She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter, que también incluía el sencillo "(Celebrate) The Day After You", en el que participó Curtis Mayfield. ¡Los dos siguientes álbumes de The Blow Monkeys - Whoops! There Goes the Neighborhood (1989) y Springtime for the World (1990) - no tuvieron el mismo éxito comercial y el grupo decidió dejarlo. El Dr. Robert siguió una carrera en solitario y trabajó con artistas como Paul Weller y Beth Orton. Tras una pausa de 17 años, los miembros originales de The Blow Monkeys se reunieron -incluido el Dr. Robert- y publicaron una serie de álbumes que no tuvieron tanto éxito comercial como sus grabaciones de los 80, pero recibieron más elogios de la crítica. Sus álbumes posteriores incluyen Devil's Tavern (2008), Staring at the Sea (2011), Feels Like a New Morning (2013), If Not Now, When? (2015), The Wild River (2017), Journey to You (2021) y Together/Alone (2024).
