The Springfields 'Singles 1986-1991'


A Greatest Hits compilation of famous Boston band The Springfields 

out on 15th November from Slumberland Records


There are few more renowned names in indie-pop history as Ric Menck and Paul Chastain, who together helped path a road for pop music to take a guitar route which started around the corner from Fenway Park.


This would be a band who most likely have been under the radar for many, yet for lovers of stellar songwriting such as The Byrds and The Hollies, this is an album for those in love with songs.  From the gorgeousness of 'Sunflowers' to the appropriately enough wonder of 'Wonder', this is a band whose legacy carries on from such bands as Major Murphy and Lawn.

On the album are perfect little nuggets of pop and rock mixed together; so do not be put off by the November release date and bring some sunshine into your life.

A must for fans of Graham Nash and Matthew Sweet, The Springfield are a band who are ripe for a rebirth and perhaps this collection of singles will help reward new listeners and bring a smile to old fans.

Singles 1986-1991 is out from Slumberland Records on 15th November.
Slumberland Records are a Californian based indie label who released the album Used To Yesterday by Smokescreens - an under the radar classic

My thanks to One Beat PR for the review opportunity.
