*226* Paul Warren & Explorer ‎– Takin' Her Back / Town Without Pity

First time I came across Paul Warren & Explorer ‎was when I found this Power Pop killer : 'One Of The Kids' on Youtube. 'Takin' Her Back' is also great but 'Town Without Pity' is too weak in my eyes (to Pop Rockish), but you yourself can decide what you think :
