Band, 1979-1986 US, San Francisco
Rock and Alternative
Translator is a San Francisco rock band that had success during the 1980s, and that continues into the present day. They created a sound that spanned updated British Merseybeat and stripped-down punk-like rock to psychedelia. Inspired by the Beatles, Cream and 1960s California folk-rock bands such as The Byrds, their guitar-based music was very popular during the early 1980s on non-commercial campus radio, new wave music stations and mainstream classic rock radio. The group's stripped-down music and sometimes ironic and disturbing existentialist lyrics also helped to make them a significant influence on alternative rock.
