The Mods (Canada)
I was kinda disappointed because when I bought The Mods' album, Twenty 2 Months today, I thought they were The Mods from Mods Mayday.
Unfortunately those Mods are from the UK while these are from Toronto. These guys ain't half bad though. Even though the singer's voice gets kinda annoying, the album's got some pretty good cuts. Canada's Mods gained substantial popularity in the late 70s and early 80s, opening up for bands like The Police and The Specials and also touring with one of Canada's best punk bands, Teenage Head.
Here are a couple of tracks from Twenty 2 Months, which was actually recorded in the late 70's but only produced and released in 1995. I actually hate the Mods' only single (and release) "Step Out Tonight" (which is also included on this album), but there are a lot of much better songs on this album.
 Twenty 2 Months 1995 Other People's Music | *Coming Out of the Rain *Anywhere But With You *Out of Your Hands |
They remind me of The Jam a lot of the time.
Twenty 2 Months is available from Other People's Music.
