All Kindsa Girls by The Real Kids. an American rock band from Boston, led by guitarist, singer and songwriter John Felice, who was a roadie for the Ramones and a cab driver while the band tried to make it. They formed in 1972, made their first recording in 1977 (a self-titled album from which this track was taken) and after a bit of a hiatus from 1999 till 2014, the surviving members are touring and recording again.

That’s when I reach for My Revolver by Mission of Burma. Written and sung by band member Clint Conley. It appears on their 1981 EP Signals, Calls and Marches. MOB was a Boston-based band that was active between 1979-83 and then again from 2002 thru the present.
