2. An 80s new wave band from Massachusetts.
3. Punk group from Buffalo, NY.
1. The Lads are a three piece Christian rock band formed in New Zealand in 1993. In early 2005 the band moved to America, and they are currently residing in Nashville, Tennessee. When discussing the move to America many of the previous members were unable to leave prior commitments in New Zealand, and major line-up changes resulted. The current line-up consists of Mark Millard (vocals), Tim Smith (guitars) and Steve King (drums). They have released a total of eight albums in their 15 year history, two of which won Gospel Album of the Year at the NZ Music Awards (Marvel and The Lads). They performed at every Parachute Music Festival from 1993-2005, earning them a cult status among many fans.
2. The Lads were a Bedford, MA indie group. The Lads played a tight skillful new wave oriented sound coupled with power pop influences. Their one and only album is soaked with bright, energetic and effectual melodies that stand up to any of the more popular acts from the early 80's. Out From The Shadows is highly recommended for the collector searching for a satisfying private press entry and desires a getaway from those more commercial offerings of the day.
3. Punk from sunny Buffalo, New York

Than what I will relate
I was saved like it was a dream
By someone else, outside the usual state
He's supernatural and unpredictable
But it's a certainty
You don't have to believe, but he rescued me
And he's come to save us
International Mystery Man
From outer space invade us
With his superhuman plan
I've heard the news on the radio
Of sightings all around
People rescued from their foes
When he appeared, the IMM touched down
One day he's coming to
Offer his help to you
You know we can depend
On the IMM

By someone else, outside the usual state
The person who rescued me was not from my usual surroundings, and felt like an outsider
He's supernatural and unpredictable
The person who saved me was not like anyone I've known before, and seemed to have supernatural powers
But it's a certainty
