Sad to read about Poly, now in a hospice, with cancer.

Germ Free Adolescence & Oh Bondage were great records of their time, & still sound good today.

Hope things can improve for Poly & she is at least comfortable.

That is really sad news.

Germ Free Adolescence is a song that has truly stood the test of time and the lyrics are still very apt today!

Announced today that she has died. Black Christmas was great and was the first song I had heard from her for years discovered purely by chance while surfing. RIP

Bloody hell, only dug out the album Germ Free Adolescence again this weekend because of a thread on here.

Really shocked by this, RIP Poly

Germ Free Adolescences the album is well worth it - some stonking tunes on it, funnily enough had 'Identity' blaring in my ears on the way into work today

Have always listened to X-ray spex, loved the pure energy in songs like Identity and Oh Bondage. RIP Poly.

Feared the worst when the interview came out in early March, as the cancer had spread to her spine & lungs, but still a shock to find out that she has passed on.

Rip Marian ( Poly)

I was 19 and this has hit me pretty hard, tbh.

RIP.
