Unknown-ness: Never heard of ths band, but the artwork reminds me of the Producers, so i assume it will be some sort of Powerpop. But the story laid out by the artwork of gearheads taking apart a model's car might project a little greasier, harder edge.
Album Review: With higher raspy Def Leppard like vocals, this hair power pop band puts out their melodic rock with an edge. They had 3 songs appear in an 1981 movie Prowler, with View Through a Tear being the only album track. The first track as an odd vocal melody- in a good way- that sounds like something from either Thomas Dolby or the Walkmen. A bit of that Walkmen sound is also on the second track's chorus.
Stand Out Track: First Time
