Right in the Feelies, man.




Fa Ce La (1979)

The Feelies apparently exist again after a prolonged hiatus. Their kind of nerdy uptight, frantic itchy guitar playing was unlike anything else going on at the time. It takes a lot of junior high school wedgies to craft a sound like that.

This is their debut on Rough Trade.

Dig it.


Paris (1979)

Meanwhile across the pond in Nottingham, England the Fatal Charm made this record while seemingly being a hundred times less nerdy than the Feelies.
They had a girl in the band so at the very least we can surmise that they were somewhat more able to interact with the opposite sex. 
This is their debut.

Their mums must have been so proud of them
