"Hold On To Something" by Great Buildings

Before they formed the successful band, The Rembrandts, songwriting partners Danny Wilde (formerly of The Quick) and Phil Solem were in a post-punk powerpop band called Great Buildings. Their one and only record arrived in 1981, entitled "Apart From The Crowd."

The record was critically acclaimed but commercially ignored. If you are a fan of anything Danny Wilde (who will be featured numerous times on this blog before we are through the alphabet) has done, you will love hearing his energetic early work. You can hear the hit-making potential of Wilde and Solem all over this fun record, and wonder why the hell radio just drove a wrecking ball into these Great Buildings.
