Biel, Switzerland's Chin-Chin formed in 1982, and after a slew of singles, released their only album in 1985. Called Sound of the Westway, the album was recorded and mixed in one week, and showcased the band's "punk-informed crunch and buoyant pop melody." The album worked well with the C86 scene that was also occupied by the Shop Assistants and the Pastels.
