Playing a stripe of power pop that seems almost quaint by today's standards,
City Lights, the pride and joy of Kagel Canyon, CA, ostensibly flickered out not long after this ep. Bit of a shame given the frenetic, sinewy stride of the kick-off "She Wants to Be Sure," that splits the difference between early Cheap Trick and the slightly tamer aplomb of contemporaries the Rubinoos. This is quickly followed up by a faithful redux of the Zombies "Time of the Season," however I think
Blackout's main draw is "My Love is Real" which brandishes a near-devastating chorus hook. Am not thoroughly in the bag for the remainder of this ep, but it's a strikingly varied batch of tunes that don't stick around long enough to get mired in any samey malaise.
01. She Wants to be Sure
02. Time of the Season
03. My Love is Real
04. Scared (of Being in Love)
05. Don't Tell Her
