Have you heard of The Chords? They were a great mod revival band from late 70s, early 80s. They were SO good, but unfortunately were overshadowed by The Jam. They sounded extremely similar, some even accusing them being a ripoff, but it's just not true. Both bands shared the same influences and the same scene. They released one album, Maybe Tomorrow and a handful of singles before firing their frontman Billy Hassett and eventually disbanding. If you love the sound of the Jam, find Maybe Tomorrow, and it's almost like having a lost album. The out of print lp goes for 50-60 bucks and the cd I believe is sadly out of print as well.
