Exhumed from the high-fidelity vaults of the early ‘80s, The Catch’s Girls in Uniform receives a definitive revival via Fervor Records, showcasing a level of sonic precision rarely afforded to regional New Wave. Far beyond lo-fi basement experiments of the era, these four songs, featuring the tightly wound chemistry of Bill Lane, Andy Shapiro, Milton Reder, and Art Hook, were meticulously recorded and mixed at Watertown’s legendary Sound Techniques studios. From there, they were sent to Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs in NYC to be cut with the same professional punch as the era’s major-label heavyweights. The result is an infectious blast of power-pop that balances jagged, nervous energy with a polished, studio-grade clarity. With the reissue of these Splash Records masters, Fervor highlights a moment when Boston’s underground possessed both the songwriting grit of The Rat, Kenmore Square’s legendary, grit-stained epicenter of underground rock, and the technical pedigree to compete on a national stage, ensuring that “Radio” and the title song finally hit the frequency they were engineered for.
