ZOOM
Sweet Desperation
2016 Canada Ltd. Edition pressing

WOW!!!
What a killer happy accident THIS was!

I bought this on a whim from a used bin today, simply because it looked super-interesting.
That’s a huge understatement.

ZOOM were a #protopunk band from #Toronto #canada in the late #70s , and this collection gathers their entire output as a band.

Sometimes they’re punk, other times straight up #glam (like on the title track), or even infectious #powerpop .

“Massacre At Central High” is a particular treat.

A few weeks ago, I posted an excellent record by a band called The Diodes.

Apparently, some parts of that band came from the defunct ZOOM.

THIS compilation is stellar, and o love finding bands that I’ve never heard of from that far back that I absolutely love.
A+++.

Ugly Pop is a great label. This might be the best thing that they’ve put out.
