So much for me getting back on track and posting more often. At any rate, this one is of slightly higher caliber than what I've been offering of late.
U.S. Mods. Can't really tell you much about them other than they were a quartet, and apparently hailed from Dayton, OH. Though they barely skewed towards genuine "mod" rock/pop, they did have a penchant for dabbling in power pop, collegiate indie rock, and even a loose approximation of post-punk.
Station 7 may not be a wall-to-wall Chanukah worthy platter, but there are a cluster of songs here that certainly are - "The Train," "Jumping Off Niagara Falls," "Sleeping With Father John," and the title cut. Ample hooks, guitars, distortion and a rough hewn aptitude make
Station 7 more than a pleasant surprise.

Needless to say, we were astounded that someone else in another part of the country came up with this name seven years later. :)
