I think they would have been bigger in Europe than in USA.

Totally unique melodicallly exhilarating glorious music. No one like them, before or since. Dark clanging poetry.

Saw these guys so many times throughout the late 80s in NC and ATL...lucky to have have that opportunity. Too bad that they really never achieved the national attention that they should have. THESE GUYS WERE FANTASTIC SONGWRITERS AND PERFORMERS.

Great tune!

I remember reading a review once that compared the Connells to R.E.M. and The Smiths. Whoever wrote that, was definitely thinking of this song (and others) when they did so

My uncle introduced me to the Connells back in the '80s. He went to Duke, ca. '85. These guys are legends of southern alt-rock. How many years did they tour the college scene? True staying power, and a great catalog of albums. One of the innovators of jangle-pop. They're right up there with R.E.M. Guadalcanal Diary was great, too. This video for "Seven" is nostalgic, but still fresh and relevant. Thanks for posting.
