4 ot of 5 Doctors

4 ot of 5 Doctors

Where the hell was I that missed this band. Perhaps they just fizzled out before the dam broke.Another Philly band that was swept under the rug. Energetic synths with  well written melodic hooks makes this band stand out.

Don't let the cartoon ponies scare you away.

Here is Modern Man from 4 out of 5 Doctors

 and it's amazing.

This band has strong vocals and well mixed and well produced guitar work with complimenting harmonies. 

4 out of 5 Doctors - Breaking Rocks

WOULD I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS IF I KNEW ABOUT IT? 

1979 had a lot of music that there was no way to hear it all. This band, had I know about them, a DEFINITE YES VERDICT. One of the best bands I missed in the many years of music. Easily 5 out of 5. 

Screamin' Sneakers

THE SCREAMIN' SNEAKERS
As you will find out eventually, I'm a sucker for female fronted music. So whenever I find some female fronted missed music I can't wait to give it a listen.  Fronted by Lisa Hall this power punk band had some nice production from the demo I listened to. Her vocals are very depicted of that 80s punk/new wave sound and remind me of a Josie Cotten/Clare Grogan mixture. The music itself is solid and nicely written.

Here is the demo I listened to

 Would I have listened to this if I knew about it? 

Having listened to this for about 3 or 4 times through...The verdict... 

Absolutely Yes!  5 out of 5 for me.
