“Some lost albums should stay lost. Others you're excited they were found, like un-covered time capsules discovered in attics or basements. I’m pretty sure I caught this Flushing, Queens’ band some enchanted evening at CBGB or Pyramid Club after their lone 1988 EP, That and a Quarter, and noted their obvious get-up-and-go—but they didn't last.

"Now, that EP’s six songs are augmented by six even hotter unreleased ones, proving their cessation was a shame. If you take the faster jump and jangle of 1981-1986 R.E.M. and Libertines U.S., plus Embarrassment, Crippled Pilgrims, and Hoodoo Gurus, with similar electric playing and songwriting acumen, you'd have the hot buzz of the heretofore unheard ‘Daylight’ and ‘Gone’ with thickened guitars like that era's Forever Since Breakfast neophytes, Guided By Voices.

"Whomever preserved and baked these tapes did us a service.”

-Jack Rabid, Editor-in-Chief, The Big Takeover Magazine
