The New Breed - 1001 Suburban Nights

   The New Breed were a New Jersey four piece, around in the mid 80's. The contact address on the sleeve is Paramus. Far as I know, this was their only record as The New Breed. A couple years later, another single titled "Teenage Myth" was released under Dennis Michell and the new breed. The band members were the same, minus Tony Romano. A few years later, a cassette was released under Dennis Mitchell and The Wilsons.

Dennis Mitchell ended up moving to Portland, Oregon, and started a great powerpop band called The Quags, which have released 4 albums, and an EP. Here's a Youtube video from that last release.

I'm a big fan of Dennis Mitchell as a songwriter, singer, and guitarist. He's a bit like an American Ray Davies, with his band sounding like The Small Faces for the 21st century!
