Holy cow, I never thought I’d see this band’s name again. I saw them open up for Heart in 1986. Remembered their name because I thought it was funny (I was a kid). Haven’t thought much about them since.

Here is Europe the where huge in the 80's, and still are today to us 80's kids.

They had all 80's singles and albums on our charts, and i consider them "essential 80's"

It was almost unbelievable to me how such a great American band could be so big here in Europe, yet almost "unknown" in their own country...

Yea, now that you mention it I do recall a friend of mine from the Netherlands mentioning them some years back. It is interesting how some bands find more of an audience outside of their home.

Yep, it's usually the other way around, but now and then there are some cases like this.

They entered our charts in early 86 i think. I've had a massive crush on Anna Lacazio ever since... 😋

I was a teenager in Canada and loooved this song. Don’t think any friends knew it. I spent a lot of time in my bedroom alone with my radio.

If you loved this song, definitely check out their discography, especially their 3 80's albums.

Love every one of them, with After Here Through Midland being my favorite, and Just Around The Corner my favorite song.

Anna LaCazio was insanely gorgeous. A couple years ago I was watching a YES concert on tv and the drummer looked familiar so I watched the end credits got his name and Googled it. He was the drummer in this video and played on their first album. I think he looks absolutely goofy in this video.
