CD Review:
After leaving Max Webster in April of '81, Mitchell helped Gowan with his debut album. He quietly released a 5 song self-titled EP on Anthem in '82 and then joined Tom Berry on Berry's new label Alert Records. This album has two versions. The first was released solely on Alert in 1984. It has a cover of Mitchell in the shadow holding a guitar. The repackaged release was released in '86 and has a red border and Mitchell about to light a cigarette in his mouth with a book of matches in his hands.
His first full length album was his best (this one). With songs like "Go For a Soda", a dedication to a personal hero of Mitchell's (Frank Soda) that sounds like an anti drunk driving anthem, and "Lager and Ale", a great party song, Mitchell established himself early on in his solo career. Although this album has gone platinum, his next, Shakin' Like a Human Being is his best-selling.

CD Review:
The first thing that strikes me about The Fully Down is how the sound so much like Ottawa band mates The Second Glace; the vocals especially. Joe Brownrigg (of The Second Glance) is a former member of The Fully Down and you can see the cross influence in the music from both bands. The Fully Down is a six-piece with three lead guitars. This makes their sound just a bit different than many of the pop-punk bands touring out there. With forays into metal and other little differences, it makes the music better than the run of the mill sound coming from so many of the bands of this genre. This is their debut.
