The Modulators

The Modulators were a New Jersey-based power pop band and local legends in the '80s, and in time developed a passionate following among pop obsessives despite never catching the brass ring nationwide. When an A&R representative from A&M Records approached the Modulators, they began writing and demo'ing material in the hope of moving up to a major-label. The A&M deal fell through, but the new music found a home on the Modulators' first full-length album, Tomorrow's Coming, which was released by Vintage Vinyl in 1984. The band continued playing East Coast clubs before quietly fading out by the end of the '80s. In 2015, the Modulators returned to the studio to cut their long-awaited second album, Try Try Try, which was released by Kool Kat Music. ~ Mark Deming
