Then Jerico - First (The Sound of Music)

Another one of those, "I wonder what this sounds like" albums I found in a bin. It was still shrink wrapped which is always fun. The cover didn't yield a release date, but this looked mid '80s and the guys looked like they were going to sound like ABC or Depeche Mode ... or worst case Duran Duran, or worster case, they'd be a boy band.  You know what they say about judging a book by it's cover. Well, in this case I got more or less what I was hoping for. From the opening notes of "Let Her Fall" this was that dreamy blend of rock and synth-pop. It had a lot of guitars, and there were times I got hints of INXS and Simple Minds ... of course I could have easily said it sounded like a-ha and Pseudo Echo and I'd still be right. First (The Sound of Music) was the band's debut, and it came out in '87 and by this time the '80s had developed a sound and Then Jerico knew what they were doing. Now, as much as I'd like to write a love letter...
