Squalls were a band who came from the same rich Athens, GA scene as The B-52’s, Pylon, R.E.M., and Love Tractor, but played their own brand of quirky pop with their own unique sound. Equal parts Lovin’ Spoonful, Grateful Dead and Talking Heads, they got many a person up on the dance floor. From 1981 to 1989, Squalls rocked Athens and made several tours of the South, the Midwest, and East coast cities including several shows at New York City clubs CBGB, Danceteria, and Peppermint Lounge. They released 4 recordings and were included in the 1986 movie Athens, GA: Inside/Out. The band also played at the legendary Athens 40 Watt Club 64 times during their heyday.
Squalls Live from the 40 Watt is a collection of 24 tracks recorded by 40 Watt Club soundman, T. Patton Biddle, and selected from five early 1980s shows.
Live from the 40 Watt is set for release on August 19, 2022 via Strolling Bones Records.

lyrics
(Words and music by Bob Hay)
Hey citizen in your fancy car, on the road to Rome.
You take a ride in the S.P.Q.R. oh yeah
Don't ask me where you are, 'cause I won't tell you.
You can run, but you won't get far, won’t get far.
Go to the games, to the library,
It's all the same to me.
Veni, vidi, veni, vidi, vici.
I took my baby to the the (remove) aqueduct, long time ago.
I took my baby to the the (remove) aqueduct again, oh yeah.
We had a swim in the fountain. Had a lotta fun.
She called me a barbarian. I said listen, Hun.
10 B.C. or '53, it's all the same to me.
Veni, vidi, veni, vidi, vici.
Hey, citizen in your shiny car, on the road to Rome,
You're riding on the roads of the S.P.Q.R.
Just don't ask me where you are, 'cause I won't tell you.
Yeah, you can run, but you won't get far, won’t get far
Go to the judge to the tribunal.
It's all the same you see.
Veni, vedi, veni, vidi, vici.

Boston post-punk outfit Junk Ranchers broke up in 1986 before this, their debut album, was released; darkly melodic, it's a long-lost gem. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 22, 2020
An endearingly-weird, synth-spiked new album from the Chicago indie-rockers, with partial proceeds benefitting mental health advocacy. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 5, 2020
