This quartet formed around Boston under the auspice of powerhouse manager Bill Aucoin, who ruled the '70s with <a href="spotify:artist:07XSN3sPlIlB2L2XNcTwJw">Kiss</a>. Guitarist and vocalist John Fannon proved to be the guiding light of the band, with Jimmy Waldo providing impressive keyboards and Gary Shea on bass while Hirsh Gardener worked the drums. <a href="spotify:artist:5W0GCoUUwU3SF6qpJanlug">Paul Stanley</a> came over from the <a href="spotify:artist:07XSN3sPlIlB2L2XNcTwJw">Kiss</a> camp to produce New England's sterling debut (featuring the incomparable "P.U.N.K." and the incredible "Nothing to Fear"), an orchestrated, absorbing affair with the boys giving all. The lush "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya" nicked the Top 40 and proved to be New England's moment in the sun. Despite an opening stint supporting the falling but still high-profile <a href="spotify:artist:07XSN3sPlIlB2L2XNcTwJw">Kiss</a>, New England unfortunately slid between the cracks with <a href="spotify:artist:3Jk87AV48O8quMXNs7sMIW">Starz</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0vDr63UtoDnQFydifU2dmO">Piper</a>, two other talented Aucoin projects. The similar sophomore effort, Explorer Suite, garnered almost no notice, and <a href="spotify:artist:0Lpr5wXzWLtDWm1SjNbpPb">Todd Rundgren</a>'s production on the innovative Walking Wild also didn't produce sales. New England dissolved, with <a href="spotify:artist:1jnB8rF67HTwy5L5ZbIr0W">Shea</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2JURxVRRkYtiCVDCfxrxzs">Waldo</a> ending up in <a href="spotify:artist:1LLiPRA3oThhxVf7W7gXQZ">Alcatrazz</a>. ~ Doug Stone, Rovi
