Boys From Nowhere were from SOMEWHERE in Ohio, apparently Columbus.  This was the sort of band that played to 8 people in their home town and had 8-15 fanatics in every major city and town where there were garage rock connoisseurs.  I think Forced Exposure was big on this band, which was out of character for genre.  Or maybe it was Your Flesh or even Maximum Rock and Roll.  There was SOME reason why I bought more than one single by this band yet didn't really remember these tracks.

The A-side is the only one that can be streamed online.  It is a cover of The Fifth Order, a Columbus band who released this as a single in 1967.  Either a Nugget or a Pebble.  The B-side I can't remember except that it was a little longer.  You could say without the aid of streaming "I Don't Bother" to hear it more than one time and I don't wanna take it out of the packed up box to ship tomorrow.

Ohio garage rock for those who love such a thing.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance.
