The Rings-Let Me Go

The Rings were a Boston based band of the early 80's that released 2 albums on MCA records. Unfortunately, they failed to catch on nationally, though they were quite popular and received much airplay in New England. Sort of a ska sound with a nu-wave look and attitude, "Let Me Go" was the closest they had to a hit.

@ZLUGGO Thanks for the public service Zluggo. If not for your remarkable pettiness we may have confused the two bands despite having heard them play live 50 times 25 years ago. Thanks for not being lazy in addition to being an incredible d-bag. God save the Queen.

I saw them live in a local club in Nashua, NH in the 80's - Thought they were GREAT. I was sad to see them fade away.

Listening to both on vinyl. Shit sounds great.

Frequently spun both their albums in the early 80's.....thought they would break out there for a moment....too bad cause they may have really developed with an audience and record company behind them.

Still listen to both albums on mp3.....wish I had lossless versions.
