Great band from Cleveland! Their song "Life On A Cool Curve" is one of my favorite 80s new wave tracks. I have a CD that they released a few years back; I believe it is available on CD Baby (too busy to check right now!)

You're welcome. And I will also tell you something else:

DO NOT touch that aforementioned 2003 cd re-release of the band's work.
Get the vinyl instead.
The CD got the worst mastering you could ever think of. This was digitally remastered by total retards. -12 dB and more in track replay gain reduced all dynamic range to zero with almost every track. My graphic visualizer showed an almost solid brick wall. I know well that loudness war wages these days, but not THAT extremely normally.

They literally squeezed out ANY possible life out of the old 80s recordings. [:(!]

Yes, that track sounds terrible on the CD. But I couldn't find any vinyl, so it was my only choice...

Ah yes!

So it's NOT just my ears or a crappy version but in fact all CD pressings "sound" the same? ;)
(if you can still call that 'sound' that is)

Well some site told about Steve Simenic having thrown lots of the vinyl into the bin (!!!) after the band had disbanded. What a moron...
(which may also explain the exorbitant prices paid by fans of their original vinyl [:0])
