The Housemartins foi uma das mais populares bandas do movimento indie pop dos anos 1980 da pequena cidade de Hull, Inglaterra. No Brasil são conhecidos apenas por Build, ou "melô do papel" -, o The Housemartins conseguiu em sua curta carreira conquistar os críticos e uma legião de fãs pelo Reino Unido, além de se tornar cult nos Estados Unidos com suas canções simples e uma mistura de ingenuidade com o conhecido sarcasmo inglês.
