Details:
After the unexpected indie success of his debut solo effort, "Darren Robbins Steals Your Girlfriend" in 1988 (which included rave reviews from Rolling Stone, Village Voice, Musician, and CMJ magazines), multi-instrumentalist Robbins signed with A&M Records and recorded a follow-up effort that, franky, never saw the light of day.
Six years later, Robbins threw caution to the wind and released six of those tracks under the name Time Bomb Symphony, adding a few new tracks to round out the CD. "If You See Kay" is a heady mix of hard-charging guitars and robust radio-ready hooks that call to mind early Cheap Trick, Smithereens, and Nirvana all the while sounding like Time Bomb Symphony.
This album was released in Japan under the title "Studio City Memoirs", where it quickly sold over 10,000 copies. Bootleg copies of that CD (usually in crude CD-R packaging) fetch upwards of US$75.
A limited supply of "If You See Kay" are now made available exclusively from CDBABY so, whether you live in Japan or not, this is a CD that truly defines power pop and, therefore, belongs in your collection!
Seriously, dude.
