THE UNUSUALS - 44u EP 1980

Debut EP by this three piece from Calgary on Living Room Records with four excellent PowerPop goodies. A bit info from the web: the Unusuals line-up were Ron (vocals/guitar), Danny (bass), Paul (drums) and the boys were one of the early bands on the scene, bridging the gap between the then-dominant cabaret acts and the new and burgeoning Calgary Punk scene, and they could play covers, but they also had some very cool original songs. They were also one of the first combos who infect the Calgarians and opened the doors for the entire scene to have a common meeting place. Solid songwriting and a great live act. 1981 followed their second & final brilliant single The More I Drink The Better She Looks To Me which I have maybe somewhere as well. Regardless of the detectives, they're only allowed to dance on Canada's Pissed Vol.3 compilation. Enjoy them as I do!
