The originators of the HARD GUM SOUND are back with their GLAMTASTIC follow-up to the aural perfection that was their debut single, "What You Do To Me". Infectious A-side ripper, "Why Can't I See You Tonight", pulls out all the stops with Moogs, handclaps, fuzz guitars, and a wordless choruses that will be stuck in your head for days! B-side is their homage to their favorite band and biggest influence, THE EQUALS. "I Can See But You Don't Know" was originally recorded by THE EQUALS in 1970 and as JESSE HECTOR so eloquently put it, "Now, that was PUNK before PUNK!"
