Great band recorded on Dolphin Records out of North Carolina on the early and mid-80s. Everything from them is well worth a listen. At times quirky with an XTC feel, other times just infectiously groovy pop.

The "Love and Politics" LP is online at Ned Robie's website, complete with the first and best "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" parody ever made...

"Tonight Tonight" (from "X-Teens") was another minor gem. I tended to prefer Robert Bittle's (infectiously groovy) compositions over Todd Jones' (quirky with an XTC feel), but "Hostage" and "Change Gotta Come" were as good, if not better, than anything Bittle wrote. Although "Western Eyes" is probably my favorite off "L&P."

I am guessing the rather large stylistic gap in the material the two were writing was one of the reasons they split in 1985.
