Which I suppose may raise a curious eyebrow in the average person with a bit of intrigue and the rubbing of palms together for the chance to hear some uncovered gem that's been otherwise lost in the mists of time. The veritable wet dream of every record collector. Unfortunately this may not be the droid you are looking for. Phun's "Music for the Masses" is not really very good.
They were a fairly nondescript female fronted alternative band based in Southern California judging by the back cover. She's got a decent enough voice but the songs don't really ask much of it. ("The Knife" is a story of stealing her best friend's boyfriend which is a bit amusing.) The songs just kind of plod. (Your mileage will, of course, vary. But I don't reckon by much.) All of which makes one wonder if embarrassment isn't the reason no trace of Phun is otherwise found online.
However all is not a total loss. "Hit & Run" almost, just almost cranks things up a notch to...well, not even close to 11, let's say 6 1/2. It's also coincidentally the only song not credited to someone in the band. Make of that what you will. If nothing else Phun finally does exist on the web.
To make it up to you, here's Subs very catchy single on Stiff Records.They were Scottish just like the Bay City Rollers but with fewer tartan scarves.
For some reason this week this one has suddenly become popular out of nowhere.
