    Some clues...sorry was kept busy at work yesterday

    For the band, each part is a letter..three letter band name

    "Desperate" late 70s Los Angeles punk band is first letter
    Delilah's "Plain White" is second letter
    Letter that "sounds like" the ocean is third letter

    As a bonus clue for band....lads from Swindon

    Band = "Desperate" late 70s Los Angeles punk band + Delilah's "Plain White" + letter that "sounds like" the ocean
    Song = Monarch of minimal reign

    The "Swindon" part is a pretty big giveaway...not exactly a thriving music scene :D

    Sunnlighter..."X" is first letter of the band name (The band Exene Cervenka was in "X" had a single called "We're Desperate" circa 1977...)

    Okay..
    I've left the singer's name off (too easy) and used the group name instead. Commas indicate

    I've got the band but clueless on the song :/
    It was in the AT40 countdown this week in 1974. That's where the idea came from. An obscure clue on the song title is Buddy Ebsen. Both clues for the song reference a movie from 1939 famous for using Technicolor.
