GREAT PRICE for you all! This is the second release from early 80`s power pop band, Off Broadway USA, who featured ex-Pezband members Mimi Betinis and Cliff Johnson. Fans of these two bands know this is something not be missed as you`ll hear the influence of not only Pezband but also Cheap Trick and other mid-west bands of the time. Classic power pop sounds from the late 70`s/early 80`s! "So the name Off Broadway screams N.Y.C., but these are Illinois boys, and one of the myriad skinny-tie bands (actually only a couple dudes sport ties) that should`ve hit the big time. The mileage Off Broadway gets from a cliche` remains nothing less than extraordinary: "U.S. Girls" cops an age-old opening from the Beatles; "Eddie`s Pals" delivers a power pop missive almost in a league with the Hollies` "Dear Eloise" (or maybe Rundgren`s "We Gotta Get You a Woman," but at least REO`s "In Your Letter"). "Boys Must Be Strong" pleads poignantly and painfully long before the Cure`s "Boys Don`t Cry." Even without Tom Werman on the boards (he guided Off Broadway`s inaugural On, and also produced hometown heroes Cheap Trick before he transmogrified into a pop-metal maven), Quick Turns is a pleasing platter impossible to resist.
