The Social Club (#3) is a band from San José, California, who were part of our First Strike Musician's Collective. I produced their album Flogging Peasants, and this song is from that album. We had a lot of fun with those guys.

It's interesting to me to see what gets remembered and what gets forgotten when people pick out the "oldies" from twenty years ago. Commercials use a LOT more new wave and punk than they use the stuff that was really commercial back then. It's like Blondie and the Buzzcocks ruled the world, and nobody really listened to Toto or Journey.
That said, people have forgotten about The Jam except maybe for "A Town Called Malice", which has a great hook played on the organ. They were an excellent rock band.
