BEATFOR47 - Rockin' Bricks

Hailing from New Brunswick, New Jersey from 1979 to 1984, The Rockin' Bricks started out with their pals, The Smithereens, playing the same gigs around New York and Philly. Recorded one ep with legendary engineer/producer Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Jeff Buckley) titled "Having A Wild Weeknight" in 1982 on Major Label Records, to wild weeknight acclaim. The Bricks were: Peter Tomlinson-lead guitars, vocals, keyboards/ Joe Hosey-guitars, vocals/ Chris Breetveld-bass, vocals, keyboards/ Bill DiMartino-drums.

“The LP featured four tracks, among them the great "Foreign Girl" which sounded like if 20/20 had put some Beach Boys intricate melodies in place of their Beatles and Brit-Pop influences (this track having also been re-recorded on "spooj" by The Breetles ; the best version in my opinion appearing on the cassette-only "Ego"). Although somewhat too typical of the genre, "Hearbeat" is quite decent powerpop.”
