With only a handful of single to their name, this song is fantastic! This is one is highly recommended. It has the whiny vocals, the dead drums, the infectious bass line, A Power Pop masterpiece. It's borderline Punk and could be labeled as Punk Pop.

Raw, pure energy at it's finest. Never released as a studio version, I came across this epic song from a band ouf the UK. I did some digging and the original bass player that was replaced by Sid Vicious, Glen Matlock. Also a member is none other than Midge Ure from Ultravox. There was a holy grail of punk rock music that was made for me that became the soundtrack of what was to become part of my younger brother and myself lives. If I was to create another, this song would be on it.

Another incredible find! A power pop gem that rivals the likes of The Vapors. The Vapors were done quite the injustice by releasing Turning Japanese. It's pure shite. The reast of that album Nuclear Days, ...brilliant. So when I compare this to The Vapors, it the highest compliment I can assign to a Power Pop band. THis is so very well done and just discovered today!

For me, Punk Rock doesn't get any better than this. This entire album is a masterpeice. I had the priledge to see X perform in Milwaukee at The Starship in 1981. X is both iconic, and legenday, and to see them in a small imitimate club on North 5th street. We were no more than 5 feet away. They played two nights and we went to both of them.

I did have a very small group of friends, three of them, that were also unaccepted in the high school cliques. I wasn't allowed to play sports, and wasn't about to smoke weed with the 'freaks'. But I did love music, and in the late 70s, our escape was Punk Rock. Mike had an extensive imported vinyl collection that opened my ears to things I would have never found on my own. I had him make me a tape of songs I liked and that tape became infamously known as "THE TAPE". My young younger brother and I LOVED that tape. We still do to this day. This song was on it.

I can not say enough about these incredible album. New Clear Days is clearly the best Power Pop album I have ever heard in my life. Turning Japanese is the worst song on the album and ruined their chance of being a credible force. If you don't beleive me...,
Give It A Listen!
