Same band, (The Raisins) same time (around 1980) but a bit more ProgRock...
Would love to hear a @D.M.N. band take on this song.
The Toronto 1980 sound - Max Webster
You may recognize the interviewer if you watch NBC news. John Roberts used to be JD Roberts of The New Music.
...and one of my favorite local bands in San Francisco in the early 1980's...
I'd have to kinda call it Punk but you can hear and see how it starts to enter the realm of the darker grunge era.

Never heard them before, but I may just have to bring this to practice and see what happens, I really like it.
He "likes" every post, though.
right, but had you not pointed it out, it would have gone unnoticed
And Wuesday? It’s not 10pm.

Well, It's not even Thursday here and I had the best week of my life so far. (I'm sorry for going off topic here but bear with me.)
For years I always wanted a Fiesta Red Stratocaster but they are difficult to obtain, certainly with the lockdown going on. But one chance glance at Facebook, gave me to opportunity to finally get myself one.
After a few tweaks, I got her to play and sound like I always wanted a Strat to play and sound like.
But the day before I made the score on that instrument, my personal life made a turn for the far better.
In 1994, a girl came into my class at my senior year of high school.
We bonded, fell in love and had very romantic but alas very brief relationship because of us both attending different colleges after we graduated and back then there was no cell phones, no MySpace, no Facebook. She back then broke it off because it being a too heavy load. I last saw her in person in 1996 when we ran into each other. But in general we completely disappeared from each other's lives.
In the years that followed, I had some flings here and there, a couple of girlfriends, but none of it was just so REAL as it was with her.
Now this Monday something amazing happened. She showed up at my house, turns out that she undergoes physical therapy in a nearby town to where I live and wondered if the address I gave her back then was still valid. I was completely blown away when I saw her 25 years after our final face-to-face encounter. And straight away, all the old feelings were back, as it was just a week since we last saw each other. One remark of hers was "Why did we ever split up?"
I told her back then that I could see us be married someday, but gave up on that dream after we lost sight of each other. The funny thing is that over the years people had been telling me "She'll return!" and "Trust me, you will see her again." and all that time I went "Yeah, sure, we'll see.."
And there she is.
All of a sudden that vision of me having her as my wife doesn't seem to be so farfetched anymore.
I'm shedding tears from being so happy.

Congrats Blazer! I'm very happy for you.
And you guys still like like you did years ago!
I always enjoy a good guitar related love story!
The part about getting back together with your high school sweetheart was pretty cool too.
Seriously, some relationships are just meant to be, yours sounds like one of those. Wishing you two all the best in the years to come!
And this is for your fiesta red strat
play it in good health.
I second that emotion.I always enjoy a good guitar related love story!
