This is some early new wave / progressive rock that leaned majorly towards the pop side of the spectrum. This seems to be one of the first releases by Frontline Records, before they started absorbing several other labels and putting out all kinds of styles. This particular release is a very well written and recorded album. It appears that there may be some other releases by this band, a second album and / or an EP as well. It seems this was also released on vinyl, but I don’t think it ever made it onto CD.

When I first encountered this one, I thought it was the same Frontline that popped up a year later in California. After more investigating, I concluded that they were not the same label. Label execs were entirely different, and this was based in Nashville–whereas the “big” Frontline Records was always a California thing.
