Paste is streaming the Chain Gang of 1974’s album, “Wayward Fire,” in it’s entirety up until June 21st (release date). You can purchase the album here and stream it over here. It feels like just yesterday we were watching TCGO1974 in the backyard of the Meadowlark and news has it that we can expect a Thompson Twins cover of “Hold Me Now” in the near future. For those of you local kids, you can catch TCGO1974 at Red Rocks for the Film on the Rocks (buy your tickets here) series version of “Terminator 2.” I remember watching that at the movie theater here in Denver by the old Celebrities. I thought that Guns N Roses video was the most EPIC thing I had ever seen in as a contribution to any movie. Ever. Of course I was eleven, but this was around the time “Use Your Illusion 1” had been released and it was being bumped EVERYWHERE. Back to business, but the more I listen to the album, the more I’m inclined to say it’s my “summer album” of 2011.
