Vinyl Vault - Modest Proposal – I’ve Seen Your Face Before

This Washington-based band was a key feature on the Hilo American Heart & Soul LP. With jangly guitars driving the rhythm on 8th notes, this single captures the quintessential American take on the mod sound.

They even made it to London, performing at the iconic 100 Club on Oxford Street. The energy and precision packed into this 2m 43s track make it infectious—a standout artefact of mid-1980s mod culture. It’s a testament to the diversity and dedication of the US mod scene, which often surpassed the UK’s at the time, as American Heart & Soul brilliantly showcased!
