The album is up on SPOTIFY -- free streaming toyour computer...only $9/mo. for streaming to mobile device (iPhone, etc.). Great band, the stuff holds up...
We saw this band so many times in New Orleans we lost count! We also saw them in other areas around Southeast Louisiana. They were great, and are a great bunch of guys. Easy to talk with and to get along with. We now live in Kansas City. (contact: english2311@att.net or riknmik@live.com )
Saw these guys many times back in the day. I've been listening in the car again. Great songs, great singing. It would make my day if they would put out a new LP.

Such an underrated/underappreciated band! I'm still surprised that they weren't bigger. Great vocals, tight musicianship, and catchy hooks. True, their sound was undeniably "80s," but it still holds up and is FAR superior than most of the crap on MTV and Top 40 radio today
Well, Yetroym, they "sort of made it." They really SHOULD have been incredibly huge. If ANYBODY in this world deserved to get rich, those guys did. But they didn't...get rich, that is. They were totally screwed by one record company exec who trashed them through at least two different companies. They still gig some, and they are truly a nice bunch of fellows.

Played the plastic off this album in the 80's! Worked at a record store and picked up 3 copies. Wore them all out and bought the CD. Played in a local band and we did 3 cuts off the debut, including this one. Pop rock writing just doesn't get any better!
the out of release album celoecanth has some of their best songs...friendly fire...slow dancing...and kansas did an incredible cover of their song cant cry anymore....great band, this song, certain kind of girl...the perfect pop song...of all time..
a couple years ago I worked at an ad agency with their bass player Kyle Henderson and I played drums while he sang at our company Christmas party. Awesome dude, still has a great voice.
Oh WOW! What great memories this brings back! I saw them at least a dozen times in Tallahassee, Valdosta, and Atlanta back in the day. Never quite understood why they never made it big. Thought they were awesome. was at the Musical Moon in Tally when the MTV video (not of this song) was made...nearly had cracked ribs from the crowd pusing us into the stage! Great time!
Ahh, 1982, high school, not a care in the world, those were the days. This was a really under rated group from those days who should've enjoyed greater success than they did, none the less this was a nice song from them.
Would someone please release this on CD? Or rerelease it... or upload it onto Amazon or Itunes!!

Video gives me chills, it's so 1983. I love where they pop up into their chairs at the end. Too bad this only got light rotation on MTV.

Who was the record company exec who trashed them? (Try us at either english2311@att.net or riknmik@live.com to continue this discussion...)

These guys were (are?) so incredible. Their self-titled album contains some of the best songwriting ever. Wish they'd have hit it even better.
Thank you for being the soundtrack to my high school years, Producers.

Thanks for the comments. Glad to see more of their videos on the tube. I used to listen to this album over and over - hugely under rated!

These guys wrote some of the catchiest pop songs ever. They deserved to be HUGE.
I caught them in 1982 at the University of Florida's Halloween Ball. I hear they still tour. It'd be great to see them today!
