Answers are bands or singers. Would appreciate help.

1. Half Sound
2 . Aeroplane cocktails
3. alive despite everything
4. 90 degrees for a while

[factor-fiction]

4 Not sure if the 90 degrees is a reference to a right angle or temperature- if the latter it could be Typically Tropical (Oh, I'm Going to Barbados)

[OILhead]

1- could it begin with semi/demi/hemi/fraction/50 %?

[jeffa]

4. Heatwave?

[factor-fiction]

Good one Oilhead. I remember Semisonic but can only think of one of their songs

[factor-fiction]

4 Yes, Heatwave is probably a bit better than Typically Tropical

[OILhead]

Was it secret smile? That's the only one I can think of but not 100%?

[factor-fiction]

Yes. Did they sing one about Chemistry something as well?

[jeffa]

"Closing Time" was their biggest hit.

[OILhead]

Yes that rings a bell too. Extensive back catalogue then!!

[factor-fiction]

Indeed they did.

I don't recall Closing Time, but that was a US rather than a UK hit it seems
