  • 31 years on and still the only band that matters

  • well… “it” really WAS a magical sort of time period. “New” sounds and outlooks, some from right here in Amerika… others from across the sea. We learned/heard that music could be “ferocious”… and YOUR look could match. Seems “trite” now… but back then- you really were on your own if this music/look was of interest to you. All of these bands (and some new ones) are in heavy rotation in my world… I’d suggest that you do the same. Funny- but you REALLY had to search this stuff out back in the day… “Singles going Steady” on 4th (?) like the size of your bathroom but it (and Thor?) were ground zero for this kind of action.
