The legendary Mechanix of Pop present 13 tracks tracks of timeless New Zealand pop history. Pop Mechanix were one of New Zealand's great pop hopefuls of the eighties. They were one of the hardest working bands in the land, made it to Australia, fought a legal battle for their name, broke up, reformed,gigged their asses off, and finally went supernova. It still confounds many of their high profile fans as to how this band didn't make the big splash that they so definitely were destined to make. The band quickly gained attention outside of Christchurch through supports for the Swingers and Dragon with fans in Split Enz and especially ex Enz bassist Mike Chunn championing the band. The road to success really does seem to be three parts luck to what ever amount of talent a band may have in its hungry soul. Pop Mechanix had oodles of talent, the energy drive, and hunger of maybe five other bands in one, and maybe only 2 parts of luck. This collection of their works stands as testament to that.
