U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 75
Backstory: This Boston based rock and power pop band played their first show in 1978 and eventually caught the attention of MCA Records who signed them. Their self-titled debut album included this minor hit which was their one and only ever charting single. They released a 2nd album called, "Rhythm Method", but it went nowhere and didn't chart. They broke up soon afterwards.
The review: This is a pretty good rock tune with a slight reggae-like beat and melody to it. Quite interesting. It's nothing outstanding, but I still really like this fine tune. Kind of reminds me of the Cars in all honesty. The Rings, IMO, are a somewhat underrated group that deserved a bit more of attention. Their style of power pop and maybe "New Wave" should've gotten them bigger chart success. Bummer it didn't last long for them.
Final rating: 7/10
