...So one night all the fellas were out having a drink; it was good to see old friends.  The talk shifted to what we were both up to.  A thought occurred to us: "Why not do a split," says Colin.  "All right, but only if you guys do 'Wallflower Child',"says Speck.   Joe responded, "If you guys like the song so much, why don't you just do it?"  "Fine, and you can pick one of our gigs," Jimmy said.   "Gigs?" Herb asked.  Robby provided closure, "Pick a song of ours, and we each do an original.  We'll call up our good buddy, Erv, to make it happen."  Done.  Simple as that.  "Waitress," called Speck, "another round for the fellas."

Hoarse - Wallflower Child (The Watershed/Hoarse EP)
Writers: Gawel/Oestreich
Publisher: Larry Funderbunk, ASCAP

This Detroit-rooted trio feeds college and modern rock radio's unsated appetite for the melodic, no-frills rock of such late '80s/early '90s bands as the Descendents and Hoodoo Gurus. These lads tear through this bopping ode to the wallflowers of the world with punkish abandon and endearing harmonies. Hoarse shares this single with Watershed, , a Columbus, Ohio band that storms through "I'd Be A Liar" with a heavier guitar sound. This is killer material that demands the ear of music tastemakers-and maybe even a major-label A&R exec. Don't miss the chance to see these bands on tour together. (Larry Flick)
