Man on Man (also M.O.M.) is a new gay lover band made up of Joey Holman (HOLMAN) and Roddy Bottum (Faith No More, Imperial Teen, CRICKETS, Nastie Band). Their upcoming self-titled record, Man on Man, is infused with indie-rock distortion and soaked in gay pop confidence while still maintaining the dry acerbic sense of humor they both share.Man on Man's music transcends both genre or decade, creating a timeless appeal for so many kinds of listening. The varied influences and textures of the record are a meditation on the myriad of emotions of lockdown, as well as this particular moment in their own lives, collectively and independently. The shoegaze whirlpools of InchStohnerInch transition into the square wave synths of Inch1983Inch with ease, while tracks like InchIt's So Fun (To Be Gay)Inch open us up to a new type of queer anthem for the 2020s.

Rick Springfield seemed to be on a fast track to stardom by 1974. He had it all a batch of well-crafted commercially viable songs, a great voice, muscular musicianship and striking good looks. After scoring with 1972's InchSpeak to the SkyInch single, he assembled his first solo band and hit the road in pursuit of his dreams. InchIt was a hedonistic couple of months of rock and roll and partying and no parents,Inch remembers Springfield. InchSongs came out of all that fire and sexual angst of being 25 and being on your own.Inch But when Rick delivered his 'Springfield' album to Columbia Records, the tag balked. It's hard rock sound and suggestive lyrics flew in the face of the pink and perky bubblegum sound they expected. In early '75, the 'Springfield' album was officially shelved. For almost 50 years, 'Springfield' has sat in the vaults... until now. Remastered from the original tapes and expanded with unheard live performances, 'Springfield' finally takes it's rightful place in Rick's catalog.
