About The Connells:
The Raleigh, North Carolina-based jangle-pop outfit the Connells formed in the spring of 1984. Fronted by guitarist Mike Connell and his bassist brother David, the first incarnation of the group also featured vocalist Doug McMillan and drummer John Schultz, who was soon replaced by former Johnny Quest percussionist Peele Wimberley. In late 1984 the quartet recorded a four-song demo; after one of the tracks, “Darker Days,” was selected to appear on the North Carolina compilation More Mondo. Some of their albums include Boylan Heights, Fun and Games, and Still Life.
