The sequel to Nobody Gets On The Guest List and preceding Claws, Let's Breed! was the second part of Throbbing Lobster's excellent series of Boston bands of the first half of the 80's.  

Back in my radio years the go to track was The Blackjacks "That's Why I Aways Dress In Black."   They were also known as Basic Blackjacks.  The Outlets, Flies, Christmas,  Chain Link Fence, Dumptruck and the Prime Movers were all airplay mainstays of mine, but the stand out bands listening today were bands I didn't focus on as much for whatever reason.

Busted Statues track "Heart Upside Down" is my favorite on here.  Reminds me of Dream Syndicate vocal wise.   Noonday Underground's "Simple Man" led by Last Stand's Kathy Demarco, is close to the top for me along with The Outlets "Not Too Late."

Solid, straight forward Boston rock and/or roll.

I'm going to say this one is quality start to finish.  My favorite cut is th...
