FOUR EYES - Anthology 1977-1990

Another lost skinny tie, power popping band that so few have heard of but sure do merit attention now. Mark DeCerbo`s band Four Eyes has a rich, deep legacy - much of it captured here on this anthology of 22 songs, a very healthy sampling I have put below because I want to make sure you check this unknown treasure out. Like recent reissues like The Wigs and Doug Derek & The Hoax, even the most ardent power pop fan `back in the day` might not have heard of Four Eyes but if distribution of information had been different in the late 70s, we sure would have. Well, sometimes these things take time and in 2009, that problem is rectified. Listen to the samples below and hear the sounds of Shoes, The Deal and Phil Seymour(listen to track #1 below) and The Romantics (Listen to #5). As the band moves into the 80s, the embrace the indie rock sounds of the times(echoes of, say, The Rainmakers in some areas) with skill and good taste(anotherwords, they avoid the nasty gated drum sounds wisely). There is mention of Greg Kihn and Dane Conover of the obscure early 80s fave futu-pop band, Trees, appearing on some of these tracks, too. Beginning To End, Four Eyes is a really wonderful find for many of you there. Listen for yourself right here, right now!
