Just another site that's giving you hard to find music

A Place To Find Some Rarer Tunes (Mod, PowerPop, Punk, Ska) ripped from my vinyl collection. If it sounds good I'll post it. The idea being that now you know about them, you can seek them out! If anyone is unhappy about any of these posts please contact me & I will take them off.

Teaser - First Date (1980)


b/w - English Garden

(Double A side)

Teaser were a 4 piece from Vancouver (So I guess technically this is a Canadian post).

Brian Konechny (voc guitar)
Randy Burgess (bass voc)
John Cody (drums voc)
Tom Ready (keyboards voc)

The 45's a blend of synth-pop & New wave with a sprinkle of powerpop.
First Date was penned by B Konechny whilst the flip is a pretty good cover of Bruce Wooley & The Camera Club's English Garden.



The 45 as with all of the Harbor 45's (that I know of!) was produced by John Schroeder

  6. Just saw this. Wow, that was such a long, long time ago.
    The band was a lot of fun for sure. We were playing in a bar in Vancouver and John Schroeder walked in and asked if we wanted to record a cover. But at the last minute we needed a B side, so I wrote First Date in about 15min. Thankful to have played with some real good guys. Thanks to all of them. Still have a lot of the old tapes of us playing live. Cheers, Brian Konechny
