The Rave-Ups were playing heartfelt, tuneful rock & roll with a noticeable country accent years before the phrase alt-country was coined, and the rootsy swagger of their music certainly anticipated the style, especially on their indie debut, 1985's Town + Country. At the same time, the band had no problem with putting pop-friendly production on their music, and after jumping to a major label, they punched up the drums and honed their hooks for 1988's The Book of Your Regrets and 1990's Chance. It was more than 30 years later before a fourth Rave-Ups album arrived, and 2022's reunion effort Tomorrow documented a group who had traded some of their polish for a more organic and heartfelt approach, without losing the spunky tone of their songwriting.
