Catholic Girls sound like they're borrowing from the Jags "Back of My Hand", who of course borrowed heavily from a Mr. E. Costello

I still remember FMU broadcasting a live Cath Girls set. Can't remember the venue. During a break between songs, some joker yelled out "I'm gonna convert!"

That Johnny Adams song was truth in action. I need to incorporate that into my upstairs library.

Honestly, Mr. McG, they were noticeably less interesting than your usual fare, avg. vs. avg., but a few of great interest, plus interesting to hear what you'd pick.
