I heard this band on American Bandstand and loved them ever since

Fantastic interview! It's always a great pleasure to listen to Mike Score reminisce about the formative years of the band... the creative synergy they had was pure genious, and forty years later their music is just as powerful and dynamic.

Thank you for doing this cool interview

This is a highly educational interview. Also, Mike Score stole my high-school groupie girlfriend (Marla) and ran off to Magic Mountain after playing an all-ages show with Trans-X and Expose at Vidal's Nightclub in 1986.
