Some catchy local power pop/indie rock who definitely should've gone farther than they did. 'Just Another Day' had the makings of being a huge hit in my opinion. Ex-Modernettes Ian Noble played drums on this record but wasn't in the group for long. I recently found this record sealed at a shop on Vancouver Island which included a sticker and a Zulu Records insert. They released a full length album in 1987 called Six Friends, also on Zulu. Surprised no one's given this band the ol' reissue treatment.
1. Just Another Day

ReplyDeleteSaw these guys a few times back in the day.Thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeleteAnd I still have the vinyl.Every Saturday morning Quintessence/Zulu was part of my record shop tour.Been listening to this vinyl rip constantly for the past few days.A great EP and a nice rip.Yep,Go Four 3 should have been big.
ReplyDeleteOne of my all-time favourite bands! Sadly my digital copy of the EP is incomplete--I'm missing "Death of Love" and the title instrumental. (I've never gotten my own vinyl rip setup going.) They continued on as Thrill Squad for another album and EP, and two members (including vocalist Roxanne Heichert) released another album as The Irises. They've been quiet for a while, though.
ReplyDeleteI bought the Thrill Squad 12" at Zulu Records a few years ago but haven't digitized it yet. Maybe I should get around to it one of these days. Cheers.
DeleteThe EP was just re-released on iTunes/Spotify/digital whatever to anyone looking to get their hands on it. Ditto to Six Friends.
