Neo Boys - Sooner Or Later
This double-album, compiled by Mississippi and K Records, contains the collected recordings (studio, demos, and live) from 1978-1983 of the legendary, and hugely influential first-wave Portland punk band Neo Boys. This is a must own record!
Lo-fi, anglular, catchy and sparse, their sound is closer to the sound of New York bands of the time than of their Northwest contemporaries (The Wipers, The Rats etc), and even closer to Portland bands of today, still sounding as fresh, spontaneous and relevant as anything recorded since.
Though they were an active band for just five years, teenage sisters Kt (bass) and Kim Kincaid (vocals), Pat Baum (drums) and guitarists Jennifer LoBianco and Meg Hentges forged a place for women in the growing punk rock scene, and redefined gender roles in the 80’s movement of rock and roll.
K records' Calvin Johnson worked with the band members to track down the missing tapes of their recordings through a rabbit hole of basements and closets, and after twenty years of effort, the result is Sooner or Later. As well as containing early demos and live sessions that have never before been available to the public, this comprehensive album also includes the long out-of-print 1980 7” EP (released on Greg Sage's Trap Records), and 1982 self-released EP Crumbling Myths.
