Eyes is a Los Angeles based combo, known for their early 1970s/80s sound, featuring members like Joe (vocals/guitar), Jimmy (bass), Joe (drums) and David (organ). They released two singles and tracks on Compilations, notably on Dangerhouse Records, and had a 10" EP released in 2009 featuring both previously released and unreleased material. The band also reunited for performances a couple of times. Joe, the leader of the Eyes, was a cerebral master of the unexpected lyric in front of the musical conventions of Punkrock. His musical concept fit into the Wire keep-'em-coming-too-fast-to-know groove, and the lyrics he wrote with John Richey were way over most people's heads. This two catchy Pop-Punk hymns with an incessant bleeping and blooping organ is a highly regarded piece of early L.A. Punk and is generally well received by critics and fans, including myself. The four are present on numerous Compis, so keep your eyes open.
