THE OUTNUMBERED - HOLDING THE GRENADE TOO LONG (1986)

Jangle-punks the Outnumbered formed in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois in 1982 by singer/ guitarist Jon Ginoli and singer/ bassist Paul Budin, who first met while both were reviewing records for the University of Illinois' student paper The Daily Illini. Teaming with lead guitarist Tim McKeage and drummer Ken Golub, the group played their first show that Halloween -- inspired by local heroes the Vertebrats, the Outnumbered set out to fuse the melodicism of the Byrds with the energy of the Ramones, quickly emerging as a favorite on the local underground music scene. They recorded their debut LP Why Are All the Good People Going Crazy? for the Homestead label in 1985, scoring a college radio hit with "I Feel So Sorry Now" and touring the country in support of bands including the Replacements, The Violent Femmes and Soul Asylum. Holding the Grenade Too Long followed in 1986, but as their popularity seemed to plateau at the cult level the Outnumbered disbanded a year later; a third LP, Work...Buy...Die, was issued posthumously on the local Edible label in 1988. Ginoli later relocated to San Francisco, where he formed the pioneering queercore band Pansy Division; an Outnumbered retrospective titled Surveying the Damage appeared on Parasol in 1998.-AMG

Just Boys - Hook, Line And Sink Her (Single, 1977)

Just Boys was formed in Tampa, Florida in 1976 by Terry Carolan, Bobby Woodrich and Gary Heslin; drums/vocals. For about two years the band played frequently in the Tampa Bay area. The group also made regular trips to the recording studio, resulting in a single released in 1977 on the band’s Counterfeit Records label. Through great assistance of their quasi-manager/benefactor and friend Gary Littleton, the record had domestic and international distribution with both Bomp Records and Jem Records. Littleton’s efforts also helped spark the interest of Arista Records president, Clive Davis.

In 1979, Terry Carolan formed the True Hearts. They released a four song EP in 1980 which was expanded in 2012 by Kool Kat Music.

VARIOUS - THE POCKET SYMPHONIES TO GOD (2008)

In 2008, i made this compilation and quite some PPC readers have always considered it was the best one i'd ever made. At the time of its first release, the collection had been available in mp3 format only. The links had been dead for so long, that a few months ago i decided to re-post, but instead of re-upping the old one, i re-made it totally, moving one song from CD1 to CD2, and using only LOSSLESS files in order to be listened in CD quality. The artwork has been slightly changed also.
