Unknown-ness: Never heard of this band. From the album cover, it looks like an edgy new wave band, promising to be neurotic, jittery keyboard heavy pop. Year checks out, 1979-1980.

Album Review: This Dutch band was an award winning band back from 1978 - present day, as they will still get together to perform on occasion. With 5 albums between 1980 - 1985, they played straight forward blues inspired pub rock, with a heavy edge. Covers of Beatles and Chuck Berry are on the album, and their Berry cover, "Come On" was their biggest single.

Stand Out Track: Come On [*]
