I know that I have at least one album of theirs,but since I haven't listened to it in ages,I forget what it sounds like anymore.I believe the one that I have is called The Eleventh Hour.Does anyone at all recall this group and if so did you like their style? Please shed some light on this group if you can,as it is appreciated in full.Thank you.

I made a CD-R two-fer of both their LP's, well worth seeking and recording them both, two gems from the early 80s. In the same vein, I would highly recommend Scott Wilk & The Walls, particularly if you are an early Costello fan. Some excellent stuff to he
