New York, NY (www.purevolume.com) - NYC Singer/guitarist and songwriter Dfactor announces cover No 4 in his 12 Covers - 12 Months series - "Paper Dolls", by Screams.
"Paper Dolls" was the lead-off song from the sole LP by Screams, a Champaign, IL-based rockin' pop band on MCA/Infinity Records in the late 70's and early 80's. Screams performed all across the United States, Canada, and England with a number of prominent bands including Van Halen, Joan Jett, Iggy Pop, Devo, The Ramones, The J. Geils Band, David JoHansen, Ritchie Blackmore and others. Click here for more info on Screams.
"This song and LP *is* kinda obscure, except perhaps to fans of Midwest power pop, but it's just a great rockin' track and I wanted to take a crack at it," says Dfactor.
"And thanks to David Adams, lead singer of Screams, you can hear the original version of Paper Dolls," adds Dfactor. "He's posted the band's debut LP up at his company site."
