Sophisticated Boom Boom, named after the Shangri-Las' iconic song, delivered on their promise with their self-titled 1982 album, released on Off Course Records. Blending 60s girl group sounds with early 80s New Wave, their 14 tracks exude punk energy and a cheerful, bubblegum vibe. Despite their timeless pop hits like "Frustration" and "Jimmy Jimmy," the band disbanded after just one album. Later, members formed the power pop band Chin Chin. While little is known about the Swiss band today, Tapete Records is re-releasing their gem, bringing these catchy, exuberant songs back into the spotlight.
