THE BOYFRIENDS レコード& CD

Review: ***B-STOCK: Record ever so slightly warped with minor split on inner sleeve, otherwise in excellent condition***


Arising from the demise of The Poppees, vocalist/rhythm guitarist Paddy Lorenzo and lead guitarist Bobby Dee Waxman grew tired of their Merseybeat influences and opted to embrace the more aggressive inspirations that were coming by way of acts in their formative years such as The Heartbreakers and Ramones, as well as the burgeoning CBGB's live scene at large. Thus, The Boyfriends was born and lurch into the fray so they did in unencumbered fashion with a bevvy of pop sensibility and mega hooks hidden behind a frenetic bent. Wrapped Up In A Dream compiles the group's two singles as well as studio material and demos, remastered from the original tapes and pressed to its very first vinyl home. Take a listen and potential spin to one of the great powerpop punk outfits forgotten to time no longer.
