'Peter Pan Hits The Suburbs' was released in 1981 to widespread acclaim. Incredibly it received great reviews in virtually all the UK music press. The typical Astronauts audience at the time was largely hardcore punks attracted by the energetic gigs and a handful of hippies so the album was something of a surprise. Full of heartfelt folk ballads and featuring legendary jazz saxophonist Lol Coxhill the album was not what fans had expected but appealed to a different audience. The contradiction of heavy chaotic punk performances and structured melodic alternative pop/folk/ambient songs continues to this day.

The first LP (Genius 001) re-released on CD by Lazy Dog Records.
The Astronauts, one of the more eclectic bands of the punk/post-puk era, debuted with Peter Pan Hits the Suburbs in 1981.
The album's range is gigantic: from dissonant punk a la Fall ("Everything Stops for Baby"), to epic progressive folk ("Protest Song", "Baby Sings Folk Songs"), ditties ("Sod us"), hard-rock ("the Traveller"), pop ("How Green was my Valley"), garage/surf ("Still Talking"), industrial ("How Long is a Piece of String"), and set to arrangements that employ synths, flute, saxophone, and strays into progressive or even free-form/psychedelic sections.
The icing on the cake is the mature statement of the lyrics, a cynical & bitter exploration of the lives of simple men, miles away from the generic horror/punk overtones that permeated most of alternative albums at the time.
"Going to be a happy little person in the new world / His face is of a warrior you can see it in his cot / So darling you go out and try & start the revolution / Me I'll just stay back here look after what we've got / His life ain't gonna be a two up two down in Fulham / Gotta change things quickly cause our minds are on the skids / So all you fellow rebels you go out and fuck the system / Sorry I can't be with you but I've gotta mind the kids." ("Everything Stops for Baby")
