about

The shortest band in the Pioneer Valley exploded brightly but briefly during the indie-rock heyday of the mid-'90s. This compilation includes the tightly wound quartet's only official recording (a vinyl EP, making its digital debut 29 years later) plus never-before-released home demos and live recordings that capture their rocket-fuel rush (and even a little vintage Bay State Hotel ambiance).

Swiss Army Knife
by The Mommyheads

I sent away for this tape in 1993 and its playful, creative, oddball homemade pop changed my life, especially seeing this liner note: "Adam Cohen played and sang everything." Pure inspiration!! Ken Maiuri

Everybody's Old
by Chris Weisman

"Like a musical Yoda on Dagobah, staying free from the distractions and junk of the rest of the galaxy," says me. Deeply melodic art, as quietly awesome as an X-wing rising out of the muck. Ken Maiuri

dillydally
by Jackie Simons

Jackie's post-XTC songstuff gives you the power to rip up those tissue tigers and make it through this anxious millennium. Inventive tunes, personal lyrics, instant hooks. Super-catchiness abounds! Ken Maiuri
