The Housemartins est un groupe de musique Indie pop britannique des années 1980. Le groupe est connu par ses positions et ses textes engagés, faisant ainsi partie des groupes contestant la politique économique et sociale de Margaret Thatcher dans les années 1980. Dès leur premier album, les Housemartins ne ratent pas l'occasion d'y exprimer leur point de vue:
- "Dont try gate crashing a party full of bankers. Burn the house down! Take Jesus - Take Marx - Take Hope"[1]
- "For too long the ruling class have enjoyed an extended New Years Eve Party, whilst we can only watch, faces pressed up against the glass"[1]
Après avoir rompu en 1988, Paul Heaton et Dave Hemingway ont formé Beautiful South , tandis que le bassiste Norman Cook est devenu DJ et producteur de musique de danse électronique , fondant les groupes Beats International , Pizzaman et Freak Power , avant de se rebaptiser Fatboy Slim .
