I really like their Hi-Nrg music. Anyone else like them?

Thank you to Wes (Romoboy) for providing the cd [:)]

"Secrets (I Won't Tell)" isn't a bad song. I don't think I remember anything else off the top of my head.

I picked up their self titled lp and a couple of 12" singles ('Heaven' and 'Leave alone in Shame') by them in the last year... all were in the used $1 bin.

Nothing extraordinary yet nothing really terrible about them either. I don't know if they were necessarily targeting a certain market, but several of their covers featured beef-cake males wearing leather motorcycle caps.

If you like 'thumpa-thumpa' synthy club music from the mid-80's (and why wouldn't you), give it a try if you come across it...

"We Are the Boys" is pretty good, I like their album as well. They chose an odd pair of songs to cover, tho...Blondie's "Call Me" and a [b]very[/b] reverent version of "Bela Lugosi's Dead."

Bizzarely, they turned into Consolidated and more or less disowned their earlier work.
'Tis Pity.

"Heaven" was a good track, I have several 12" singles and the LP also and only remember that song sticking out and being good.
