Ida & The Secret Stars - Split 7"

(R. W. (Rob Winslow) [U-45927M], 1997) [US]

I remember liking these two bands a lot in high school, Ida & The Secret Stars, I had a few of their LPs sprinkled among my hardcore and emo records - it was cutesy stuff to give to your girlfriend. Geoff Farina of Karate plays in TSS. I still like them after all this time, one of the things I feel like I listened to in high school that holds up. Sweet little lo-fi split 7" from 1997.

First 7" single from Sportique UK super-indie group, Sportique, featuring Gregory Webster (Razorcuts), Mark Flunder (Television Personalities), and Amelia Fletcher (Heavenly)! I was pretty late to happen upon this band -- have always been a fan of the members other groups -- and super excited to discover this band.
