Casey Lindstrom had been kicking around the Boston rock scene for years before going New Wave with his band New Models in the early 80s. They got a deal with PVC records, the in-house label of JEM importers, which resulted in the five-song Sight and Sound EP in 1983. I caught them at DC's late, lamented Wax Museum on the Sight and Sound promotional tour, and it was just fine. That was very early in my club-concert-going life (as opposed to arena-concert-going), though, and everything I saw was just fine. Listening to the record now with two-plus decades of hindsight, it sounds like 70s-style AOR with a glossy sheen of new wave synthesizers. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Anyone else hear a little Loverboy in there? "Turn Me Loose"?
[this is good] And I have faced it.
