about

Led by main singer/songwriter/guitarist Rick Gallego (Jiffipop/Cloud Eleven), The Singles were Rick's very first band, and 'L.O.V.E. From The Santa Cruz Archives '82-'85' celebrates 40 years since the band formed in Santa Cruz, California. Rick's influences in the early days included Elvis Costello, Squeeze, The Plimsouls, The (Paul Collins) Beat, Shoes, 20/20 and Cheap Trick. Most of this material has never been officially released, save for the 4-song vinyl EP ‘PLAY IT!’ that was released in 1983, and has since become a “power pop” collector’s item. Santa Cruz was a hotbed of talented bands in the 80’s and included acts such as The Call, Camper Van Beethoven, Eddie and The Tide, The Medflys, The Humans, etc., and The Singles often shared stages with these bands. While the band never signed a recording contract in their heyday, they continued to record regardless. At long last, we finally get to hear this music that has been buried in the vaults for 40 years. PLAY IT…LOUD!
