New Additions: The Bridal Album by Boys From Nowhere (1990)

Initially, I was confused about the trajectory of Boys From Nowhere. Where they a Columbus band or a Boston band? Turns out there was a documentary about Boston punk called The Boys From Nowhere, hence my confusion. But then it turns out at some point, most of the line-up (except for leader Mick Divvens) was replaced by musicians from Youngstown, so... Anyway, there were a few BFN records floating around Columbus record stores, and I grabbed a few seven-inch singles as well as The Bridal Album, which is probably as good a place as any to start with the band, even though it looks to be the last thing they released. Loud, guitar-driven garage rock, plenty of fuzz and attitude, as the Lord intended. Good stuff, too band they aren't better recognized.
