28 THE OULETS "Sheila / A Valentine Song" (1985)

The Outlets have been one of the most prolific and exciting live bands in the Northeast since the early 80′s. There have been several line-up changes throughout the years but the music by David Barton, an extraordinarily talented songwriter, has remained brilliantly intense, with power pop hooks and a punk attitude. Live, The Outlets, then and now, create an overpowering presence, great music and kick ass rock! The Outlets’ first releases were on Modern Method (Mike Dreese/Newbury Comics‘ label); they later released singles on American Music/One Way Productions and One Way Productions.This third single is on the great Throbbing Lobster label. A side is a fantastic power-pop song that will directly blow you outta mind! B side is a slowest song specially for nex Valentine DAy!!

Les Outlets étaient de la seconde vague punk/Power pop de Boston, trop jeunes pour faire partie de la bande du Rat et trop précoce pour avoir le succès des futurs Lemonheads. Ils ont sortis 4 singles entre 80 et 85, celui-ci est le troisième avec une superbe power-pop tune "Sheila", du vrai caviar! Il signèrent ensuite chez restless/Enigma sans rencontrer le succès escompté et se reformèrent à la fin des 90's puis dans les années 2000...
