An Overlooked Gem

"I taped a copy of this off my sister when it first came out(on vinyl). I played the cassette to death and feared that I would never find this again. Thankfully it was re-released and I get to enjoy it again. The song is classic 80's Brit-pop with guitars, guitars, guitars meeting lyrical hooks that catch the listener with each listen. The lyrics are thoughtful and the excellent rhythm section carries each song, subtle underneath the rave-ups, stand-out on occasion. Almost the perfect pop record. Each song insinuates itself into your consciousness with driving hook-laden melodies. Favorite selections: "Railroad Side" and "Listen On" I only hope that leader Gary Newby continues his anticipated 2003 comeback so I could experience this band live."
