A buddy turned me onto this weird Electric Eels meets the Modern Lovers band. I bought the second 7" immediately. I gave it to Angie as had forgotten to buy her a birthday present, but managed to get hold of another copy a little later. I then spent about a year tracking down the first 7" after initially trying to join the band when their drummer quit (I emailed but they’d already found someone who lived in the same country).**I’m not sure why everyone I know from America treats people from New Jersey as their stinky retarded cousins, but maybe that’s why a whole bunch of interesting bands seem to be coming out of there right now.
HOME BLITZ includes two 7"s plus a whole bunch of extra stuff.
