Shhhh....


Be very quiet.



From Here to There (1993)

There are currently a few different bands using the name of Hushpad that I came up with in the few minutes spent looking up things. None of  them are these guys.

Anyway, twee quiet songs about love and longing.
This on is on the Bus Stop Label.



Dear Jenny (1997)

Their second and final single. More of the same. Would have been right at home on Sarah records.
Let that be your guide.

Lost then Found


I found a single that I wasn't aware I'd misplaced.





For whatever reason this had gotten itself stuck in a weird pile of terrible Polish new wave crap that I'd gotten in a package deal with a couple of singles that I actually wanted from eBay. I'm not sure how that happened. It just did and there it was. So here's Nebraska.

It's some really sweet Power Pop shit that probably got them laid a lot back in the day in Lincoln, Nebraska. They deserved it. This is good shit.



Europeans (1978)

A year later to just as little interest to the world in general Europeans released their namesake single "Europeans" which is a nifty little toe tapper with some expensive sounding synthesizer styles and a song that they had such hopes for that they rerecorded it for their only other single on a different label. It apparently didn't do much to lift their profile. They broke up shortly after.
