Although I am newly subscribed to this list, I can't understand the lack of activity. I've been a long time fan of The Connells, but they don't tour Canada too often (if ever). I was fortunate to have seen them live only once, when they played in Boston along with Big Dipper in, I think 1991. If nothing else, can people post new bands or albums that are musically in the same genre as the Connells, i.e. power pop, folk- rock, etc. or RIYLs (I need something to sustain me between new Connells releases). There may be some overlooked pop gem that has received only regional or local airplay and that may be of interest to others. If you are willing to post, would you give a brief description of the music. Eagerly awaiting any replies! S. Kelly Sears Montreal
