The Plimsouls played melodic sixties mod pop with punk aggression, Peter Case’s grazed white soul vocals and Eddie Munoz’ plangent guitars bleeding through the surface noise and cheerleader air-punch rhythms.
This 1983 live recording, the group in explosive form after their second album, betters their studio output in terms of sheer energy and reveals The Plimsouls as one of the great lost groups.
A cover of Moby Grape’s Fall On You holds on to the hippy harmonies whilst serrating them with nerve shredding guitars at white knuckle velocity.
I’m sorry, but they don’t make them like this anymore.
