Which alternative band had the 1994 hit single “Connection”?

Elastica had the 1994 alternative hit single “Connection.”

“Connection” was released by the English band Elastica in 1994 and became one of the group’s signature songs. Its brisk tempo, clipped guitar riffs, and compact structure reflected the band’s punk and new-wave influences while fitting the mid-1990s Britpop and alternative-rock landscape.

The song appeared on Elastica’s self-titled debut album, released in 1995. It reached number 17 on the UK Singles Chart and helped establish the band internationally. Elastica was led by Justine Frischmann, formerly associated with Suede, and the group became known for its energetic, stripped-down sound.

“Connection” is sometimes confused with songs by Garbage or Republica because all three acts were prominent alternative artists of the 1990s. Elastica’s track is specifically identifiable by its title, its 1994 single release, and its later inclusion on the band’s debut album.
