It's Raining - Radioland 12" + 7"



Learned to know this band by downloading this 12" from a blog now gone. And I did like what I heard so I tried to find this record as well as the harder to find 7".
It's Raining were from Huntington Woods, MI. , consists of 4 members. They have a strong UK postpunk sound, except maybe the vocals. No groundbreaking stuff here but a fine listen.
Not much info to be found on the band. Both records released by the band on Certain Records.
The 7" has good songs but sounds muddy probably of bad vinyl pressing.

Hey, I remember them. I think I have that first one, on vinyl of course. I knew Brian.
