The Roxies - Don't Wanna Dance Because I'm Told To

 Had this one a few weeks now and I've been listening to and liking it quite a bit.
   The Roxies are a Berlin, Germany four piece. Not sure exactly when they started but they've been around since at least 2019. If you're a fan of 70's / early 80's Punk and Powerpop, with a British lean; this one's a must!

The Fort Worth Cats - Self Titled E.P.

    The Fort Worth Cats were a Fort Worth, TX four piece, formed in 1978. Besides this EP, I found a full length titled, " Earthquake at the O.K. Corral"; released in 1981. Wasn't able to find much else after that; other than this Facebook page. Sadly, there's an announcement on their page, that John Willett passed away in 2012, R.I.P.
