U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 51 (Released in '79, didn't peak until a year later in early 1980)
Backstory: This American rock and power pop band was formed in Oak Park, Illinois in 1977. They got signed to Atlantic Records and soon released their debut album, On in 1979. The album got to as high as No. 101 on the Billboard Hot 200 Album Charts, and this following single from the album got to as high as No. 51 and was their one and only ever charting single. They released one more unsuccessful album, and than broke up in '83. They have, however, since reunited and still play occasional concerts, usually in their home state.
The review: This is a really fine, fun, and upbeat tune with nice guitars and vocal work. Not sure why it only got to as high as No. 51. Should've been bigger in my eyes. Good production and drums as well.
Final rating: 8/10
