I remember seeing this video on TNT. They did a late night show on the weekends where they showed cheesy drive in movies and alt band (though we didn't call it that then) videos. Hard to believe, but true.
doug, mike, peel and the boys let it be what it was....if you enjoyed it, cheers. But these Carolina boys are not ones to shove music down the nations throat. Shit, gives us old cats things that are OURS!
Does anyone know if there will be actual re-releases from the Boylan Heights and Darker Days albums? Since Bycicle Records purchased the rights there's been a digital release, but some people actually still prefer the oldfashioned CD with booklet and jewel case :)
Great song. Doug's vocals are fabulous. Very underrated vocalist.
Boylan Heights is one of those albums I put in the cd player, play it all the way through and I am transported back to younger days for about an hour. One of the best albums ever.
@Stinger4186 I grew up with these guys. Not sure what everyone is up to ( even tho I'm friends with them on fb..lol ) but I do know that Peele ( the drummer ) is a bigtime director in Hollywood now.
I saw them at University of Florida in 1987 - great show. I had the Boylan Heights album but lost it in the 90's would love to be able to have it back! I always wondered why they never made it bigger.
The best thing I ever heard about The Connells is that they refused to draw attention to themselves. The music spoke for itself. Transcendent US/UK drinking anthems. Set 'em up.
I'm ex military... I see all I'm proud about my service in this song...
I also see why I got out...
I don't want you to see me in all my glory, I want to decline...

Boylan Heights is easily the greatest pop record in the post Beatles era. Remember this--those who know-know. Connells now and forever.

re zombiepil, I think real guys have more sex appeal than rock posers with teams of stylists. And world, I love this band!

I really miss those good times, where we judged the bands on their music skills instead on there sex appeal.
