Fleshtones: Up-Front [I.R.S. EP, 1980]
I didn't believe they were nothing but a party until I witnessed them leap out on the NYU stage tossing packs of Camels to the mob, then demolish Nervus Rex in a battle of the bands. And from these five songs you still won't believe it. Best but not great is "The Girl From Baltimore"--real party city, cross between Philly and D.C., none of which the song implies. Nervus Rex album's pretty nice. B−
