DOUG DEREK & THE HOAX
"Who The Hell Is Doug Derek?"
American Alternative Power Pop band DOUG DEREK & THE HOAX were in existence for just a single year from 1980 to 1981, however it was during that time that they created some of the more catchy, hook-laden songs to be put down to tape in a recording studio in the state of Connecticut. This obscure band&x27;s "debut album that never was" has finally come to be - a 12-song, full-length collection of all original studio recordings being released for the first time an unprecedented 27 years after they were originally recorded!! If you like ‘70's pop such Raspberries, Badfinger, Big Star and the classic power pop of the early eighties ( Records, Romantics, Cheap Trick ). This album will be a true milestone in your record collection! Grab this Lp sooner you can, only 500 copies around!!!!!
FUTURE DADS
"24 Whinship"
Future Dads, formed in 1981 after the split of legendary Boston punk band Unnatural Axe, were influenced by Ramones along with longtime heroes like the Modern Lovers and Lou Reed. The Dads gigged regularly at the Rat, the Channel, the Underground, Cantones, the Club, the Paradise, and the Inn-Square Men's Bar on bills along with local bands and out-of-town acts like the Plimsouls, Plasmatics, Mo-dettes, Professionals, Wire Train, and Shrapnel. After recorded a great 7” and many other studio tracks, the band split up in 1982. So there you have it. A little snapshot in time, these songs provided the soundtrack for a ragged ride through the glory days of Boston's underground rock scene fueled by alcohol, loud amps, and a love for rock and roll that is still with us today. Essential!!!!!
IRON VIRGIN
"s/t"
Iron Virgin was a 70's glam proto punk band who were formed in Edinburgh, Scotland. Back in 1973, Decca assigned their best producer, Nick Tauber, who produced Thin Lizzy (The Boys Are Back in Town) and many others...to scour Scotland for a new band for the Deram (Decca) label. He came to a small town in Scotland to listen to the band and, at the end of the show, he said that this wa the best live band he'd seen since The Move! So the band went down to London to record some demos in West Hampstead studio. Consequently, the band was signed to Decca Records, that released their great two singles, both ‘classics' for ‘70's UK r'n'r glam fans. This definitive antholgy, wich contains also unreleased tracks, is the definitive tribute to one of the best bands of that decade!!!
