#recordoftheday 14 ICED BEARS - 'WONDER'
(1991, Borderline Records)
___________________________
In the interest of transparency, I'm re-listening to this one with nefarious purpose: that necessary summer vinyl purge. Not the "moving sale" level, just the shelf space follies.
Honestly, aside from this band's (in Strong Bad voice) stupid freaking name, there are only a couple of musically memorable moments on this thing for me (e.g. "Heaven Star"). I generally can't get enough of that C86 stuff, and @thesarahrecords never let no trash carry their name, but I wouldn't have given this one a second thought if I hadn't recently read that book when I found it. The cover also bears (hehe) a serious resemblance to a certain record by another beloved, terribly named British '80s band who are active in this year of our based god 2022.
I'd still love to hear the Iced Bears' other stuff, though. I know their name was a play on some 80s UK trend, but I can't remember.
