Does anyone know Primitive Radio Gods? I imagine some involved in the LA Power Pop scene might. They had a modest hit in the 90s.
Before they were that band they were I-Rails from Oxnard, CA. They put out this super tight collection of Power Pop rockers that are all of the sort one might find on an International Pop Overthrow compilation record.
In other words, they are sparkling little rock confections that make me super happy to know about it.
“I Thought You Were My Friend” is obviously influenced by “Harborcoat” but I actually don’t mind that this time.
This is an excellent piece of DIY power pop rock that sounds NOTHING like the 80s we all know.
