55 Miles and 6 Years Apart


It's a combo platter of combos from the New England area.



Hi-Beams (1981)

Hi-Beams were from Cranston, RI.

(This may be the first Rhode Island band posted. Be sure to mark it off on the 50 bands from 50 states sheet)

A side is called "Hyperactive".

It has nothing to do with Thomas Dolby. That wouldn't come out for another three years.

B side is called "White People" which is about as suburban as you can get.

Taken together this single would make a nice vintage New Wave ad for Ritalin.






Hackmasters (1987)



There's nothing to be found about this outfit.
Nothing is necessary.
It appears to be a one-off of some Boston music folks in other bands making with a Surf/Garage trip.


Good enough for me.
