Both of these bands hail from the town I grew up in, so seeing them at parties, high school events and local venues was a regular occurrence. Members of The Howards went on to form A Boy Called Spite which then became Explosivo which then became Small Arms Dealer which then became Iron Chic. I am not sure what happened to the members of Checkerboard Charlie. On this record, The Howards deliver a frustrated teenage pop punk sound while Checkerboard Charlie offers a nice blend of punk and ska which was quite typical those days. Enjoy!

Dude, who are you? I have to know you somehow. Do you remember the Powers brothers from Sound Beach?
