One of the great things about the Internet Age music -wise is the ready access it allows the curious to the obscure nooks and crannies of Rock and Roll history. Take Neo Boys. A female quartet from Portland, Oregon and the late Seventies and early Eighties before that city was really on the map. They only released a few tracks during their actual career but have been recognised and anthologised since.
They're just great. They come across as some unholy blend of Raincoats, Mission of Burma, Pylon and Sleater Kinney before Sleater Kinney came into being. Taut, urgent, politicised and fully formed. The double CD Sooner or Later is well worth tracking down.
