Yep. The first one from a band from your youth is always painful. I did have a soft spot for them right through to the end of their initial run.

One of the first bands I got into as a kid ie buying albums. Their first 3 albums were great IMO.

A sad loss indeed, another one from our era to go, not especially old either...

Revisiting the back catalogue today. I think the biggest problem I have with these guys is they're more Americana than punk rock. Songs like "She's So Modern" sounds like it coulda been on the Grease soundtrack.

A good observation. I always thought that the first album had more than a hint of Bruce Springsteen! Mind you, I still played it to death at the time.

I've not listen to it for ages...I'll have to give it a spin.
