A fairly (I think) unknown crew from Austin Texas, pure late 70's-early 80's power pop, and nothing but.....if you want something else, you came to the wrong place today......I can't find much factual information about them, I simply have this one album ("The Explosives '79-'82"), which has a number of the gently rocking tracks that made the power pop of that fab era so fucking wonderful.......if, like me, you enjoy occasionally stumbling upon a previously unknown power-pop gem from the early 80's, this is one you will want to check out.....I've got LOTS more of em, of course, and I dunno, I might feel a "power pop" mood/phase coming on........we'll see....but for now, let me know what you think of The Explosives, somewhat semi-catchy power pop!THE EXPLOSIVES '79-'82-01 Saftey In Numbers/02 Come Here and Do It/03 Sellin Out/04 I Go Insane/05 I Wanna See You Cry/06 Stuck in the Ball Turret/07 Dancing All Night/08 Very First Time/09 Lonely Street/10 A Girl Like You/11 If I Touch Her/12 I'm an Explose/13 I Won't Go Back/14 Fortress Europe/15 Tommy and Toni/16 Dog Star/17 UFO/18 Summertime Come/19 Come Clean
This one out of the vast BigScott62 collection, there is a BUNCH more of this stuff if you guys want obscure 80's power pop, just say so, you'll get more than you dreamed possible!
