From the smoggy San Gabriel Valley in Southern CA, buried deep in a vault for over 35 years, comes the never before heard new LP Valley Boulevard. A nod to Beach Boulevard, Posh Boy approved. This gem contains 3 of San Gabriel Valley's finest from 1983-1986. Featuring Mad Parade, The Steps and Chainsaw Pop. This 14 song compilation LP contains some of the best demos, that have now been remastered by Enormous Door, that you wouldn't believe are taken from demos. Mad Parade - 5 songs of different versions from the 1984 debut album and a never before heard cover of The Guess Who's "No Time".Introducing 6 songs from 15 year old kids cut from the same cloth as Mad Parade, The Steps. You've seen them on flyers, you've seen them in Flipside. If you're a fan of early Descendents and the Dickies this is for you! 3 songs from the punk/power pop trio Chainsaw Pop "Mother Secretary" which opens side B, you will wonder why these guys didn't hit the big time. A definite must have for any fan of SoCal punk of the early 80s. Available on colored vinyl on Gutterwail Records,
