Truthdare Doubledare is the second album (released in 1986 on MCA Records) by the British dance band Bronski Beat. It is their first album to feature John Foster as lead vocalist, following the departure of Jimmy Somerville.




Critical reception



The Ottawa Citizen wrote that "the Caribbean sound of 'C'mon! C'mon!' and the energetic dance number, 'Hit That Perfect Beat', are prime examples of the Bronskis' diverse musical change." The Gazette noted that "the band's gay political stance and dance-floor logic remains intact."
