I may not have of a wealth of background info to regale you with regarding this seven-piece Rhode Island set, but I do know a rock solid power pop disk when I hear one, and
The Probers near-30 year old
Mad at the World ep is the cats meow. Plenty of rollicking fun here, and very much of the era I might add. "Betsy," "Tell Me," and "Take It Like a Man" recall the finest work of their (slightly) more renown contemporaries, The A's and Donnie Iris, and while we're at, thrown in a dash of candy-coated pop sheen a la the Rubinoos. It's seems someone has posted a non-LP Probers track via a makeshift video on
YouTube, and as a bonus you can glean a little bit more about the band in the rather lengthy comments section.
