My apologies for another unconscionably long music drought. Will try to get to some re-ups later this weekend, and potentially a review or two. For now I can offer you this. The Modes were DIY pop-meisters from Boston who straddled that utterly fine line between new wave and power pop, in warm, often slightly cheeky fashion. By the mid-80s they secured a major label contract...which ultimately fell through. A breakup ensued, but not before The Modes cut a dozen or so tracks as demos which were resuscitated from aging master tapes for this collection. Theres a couple of clunkers amidst otherwise promising material in this enticing fifteen song set. Original copies of may still be available here.
