The 1986 Listening Post - 54-40 - 54-40

54-40 - 54-40



#300/1425 LISTENING POST DISCOVERY
July 1986
54-40
54-40
Genre: Canadian Rock
4.75 out of 5


Highlights:
Baby Ran
I Go Blind
Grace and Beauty
Me Island
Alcohol Heart/54.40


Who is 54-40?? They are still around, still putting out records and you know what? This is excellent. 
They wrote “I Go Blind” which was a hit for Hootie and the Blowfish and this version is better. 
Not much else to say except that this is a fun, angsty, solid rock record. It’s more alternative than most at this time. Just one listen to “Me Island” was enough to make me hit the replay this platter and go right back to the top.
