In the early/mid-80s, Charlie Pickett and the Eggs were -- hands down -- the punk gods of South Florida. They anchored the Open Books' Land That Time Forgot compilation. They had college radio, when it was fomenting alternative as a genre, with "If This Is Love (Can I Get My Money Back)," "Overtown," "Marlboro Country," massive press in NME, Melody Maker, Trouser Press, NY Rocker, and CMJ. The band caught the notice of REM's Peter Buck, who championed the band, and appears as a special guest on this See You In Miami, out August 17th on Y&T Records.
