Aztec Camera was a Scottish New Wave music band from Glasgow. Although generally considered to be borne out of the post-punk movement, Aztec Camera's music is mostly acoustic oriented and might be better described as guitar based indie pop.
Popular songs by Aztec Camera include "Oblivious", "Still On Fire", "Walk Out to Winter", "Somewhere in My Heart", and "Good Morning Britain" (a duet with former The Clash guitarist Mick Jones). "Somewhere in My Heart", the second single from Love, remains their biggest hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart. "Good Morning Britain" could be considered a "comeback hit" for them, as previous single "The Crying Scene" had only reached #70 in the UK, while the former hit reached #19. A 'Best of' collection was released in 1999.
