Info
- "This band formed in Worcester, an industrial metropolis and college town in Massachusetts, in 1962. They set out as an instrumental surfin’ quintet doing covers of The Ventures and other surfing hits. By 1963 they had adapted to the British invasion by adding vocals and by the time of their first single they were a popular local attraction. True Love Knows was a typical teen beat effort that can also be heard on Back From The Grave, Vol. 7 (LP) and Shiftin’ Gears a pounding surf-instrumental resurfaced on Strummin’ Mental, Vol. 5 (LP). In 1966 they hired an organ player and became a seven-piece recording their second single, which was in an Animals soulish vein. There was also a third single, which | don’t have details of, in 1969 and it wasn’t until 1973, after 11 years together that they finally downed their instruments." (FAF)
