Sneakers

As the Sneakers by no means made a lot of an effect if they were collectively, the band marks the very first appearance of several seminal numbers of the choice pop picture of the first ’80s. Chris Stamey, Mitch Easter, and can Rigby shaped the core from the Trainers, composing well-crafted, guitar-driven pop rockers; their self-titled debut EP was built by Don Dixon, who continued to be always a effective manufacturer, and a single musician. After one exceptional full-length record, the Trainers split up. Stamey and Rigby continued to create the dBs, among the ’80s’ greatest American electric guitar pop rings; Easter led Let’s Energetic, in addition to learning to be a record manufacturer (including R.E.M.’s first two albums). Nevertheless, the Trainers are more when compared to a traditional interest; although they didn’t record quite definitely, their record and EP include a number of the finest power pop from the past due ’70s.
