Badbob And The New World Crusade - Today's News ep (1987, Incas)

I didn't think it was quite that long ago when I shared my last Badbob wax, 1988's Now is Reaction, but apparently it's been over a decade.  The 'Bob' in question was none other than Robert Therrian, who cut his teeth in the CT hardcore melee known as Lost Generation (you can check out their Military Heroes cassette here).  Furthermore, the man of the hour ostensibly played a hand in managing the Incas Record label, one of the most reliable and consistently rewarding DIY imprints of the '80s. 

Under the configuration of Badbob and the New World Crusade, three singles and the ep to your right were all cut in the mid-80s.  Considerably a heck of a lot more even-tempered than his Lost Generation days of yore, Bob and his aforementioned Crusade stuck well to the middle of the road on Today's News.  This generally anti-climactic, albeit strummy, four-songer is wholly approachable in the manner of say what the Windbreakers were concocting around the same era.  The title piece makes for a bit of an earworm, but writ large Badbob and his four-piece gaggle weren't a terribly inventive or visionary lot.  I need to check out Today's News' surrounding singles, however thus far, I'm more partial to Now is Reaction.
