If you took all the money I spent in In Your Ear's location in Harvard Square alone I could probably pay off my college loans. I met a lot of the "old" Boston heads (Jeff from the Lyres, etc) but I never heard this band mentioned. <br /><br />ANYWAY- THIS IS AWESOME. Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />PS- speaking of the Philisteens, here's a recent interview with Michael Glover (drummer) where he says they opened for the Ramones. <br /><br />http://www.themovienetwork.com/interview/interview-michael-glover-robyn-rosenkrantz-go-le-floJim P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02413286431701117542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-28752121287110769722016-01-02T16:05:47.531-08:002016-01-02T16:05:47.531-08:00All you had to do was mention Crash Street Kids to...All you had to do was mention Crash Street Kids to entice me to take a listen!

"Neighborhood Kids" is like an East Coast approximation of The Beat (Paul Collins). These Bostonites were definitely cut more in the image of The Real Kids than Burma. thenoiseboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089814519661689845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-60805302038135781772015-12-12T17:01:41.658-08:002015-12-12T17:01:41.658-08:00Jeepers, with the names dropped in relation to thi...Jeepers, with the names dropped in relation to this one, I have to hear it. A cut-out of The Shoes "Black Vinyl Shoes" purchased from Toonerville Trolley back in the day genuinely changed my life and The Professionals LP is really good.<br /><br />I have a vague memory of hearing about The Lads, but given what a great band name it is (except for decades later online searching) it might just be a band I thought I had heard about.<br /><br />P.S. Listened to "Yuletunes" today while driving with my daughter to get our tree.Bruce K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04854123794402624239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-90375403585420828772015-12-12T16:20:05.224-08:002015-12-12T16:20:05.224-08:00Really good!

Not quite sure if I hear the Professionals, but very much The (UK) Boys...i moved up here to Boston wth a drummer from Philadelphia in late 1984, and have NEVER ever heard of these guys......we were BIG time Shoes and power pop fans, so I am surprised they didn't register much....wonder where they are now? thanks much!!!!!!Jim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124385081342763337noreply@blogger.com
