THE DE-CODES EP (Generic Records, 1980)
Merry power pop X-mas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa!
Sweet wonderful reader: you don’t
know how lucky you are that Trey or Jeremy have not already posted up a link to the video
for Pointed Sticks’ ‘Powerpop Santa.
Shameful.
In any event, enjoy an unacclaimed bunch of mod anonnos out
of central Pennsylvania named THE DE-CODES, produced by none other than CRAIG
BEVAN and similar - in sonic verisimilitude - to THE RETROS of St. Louis.
Actually, between these guys, CRAIG and THE HORNETS, there’s
evidence that there might have actually been a nascent power pop new wave scene
a-brewing up there in Penn’s Woods.
But, really, does anyone other than Erik Lindgren actually care?
Enjoy then the then sounds of THE DE-CODES and have a Happy New Year!
‘JUST LUST’
‘TURN AROUND’
‘NO REPLY’
‘PHYSICAL WRECK’
