Does anyone remember this band? They had a bit of an MTV hit with their cover of “Peter Gunn” which I sort of recall but, then again I really almost don’t. 


This band was big in Pittsburgh. And you know what they say. When you’re big in Pittsburgh…you’re big in the string for Tom Cruise’s All the Right Moves. 

Did anyone else see that movie? Am I wrong? Was Tom fully nude in that thing? Is that just a weird Mandela effect memory? And why would I want to remember that?

Anyhoo, this band sounds JUST like the kind of band that the people in that movie would go to see on a Friday night after a hard week at the mill. Or the quarry. Or whatever hard labor job they had that caused them to die early. 

Except for that one kid, who managed to get out of that town. 


These are pretty ok songs, for the most part. It’s like a second rate Doug and the Slugs.
