1980s debut EP from Columbus, OH underground DIY trailblazers. TRUE BELIEVERS was the first actual "band" that "played live" of all of Mike & Tommy's projects and along with Tommy's brother, The General, and the occasional Nudge Squidfish, these three songs are just as pivotal, perfect and proto-punk'd as possible for these Ohio outsider icons. Originally recorded in 1979 and released on their own New Age label in 1980.
Mike Rep and Tommy Jay are two of the Midwest's most unheralded 70s songwriters who are only just beginning to get their due in the underground circles thanks to reissues from Siltbreeze, Columbus Discount and HoZac Records.
