The Plimsouls is the debut studio album by American power pop band the Plimsouls, released in February 1981 by record label Planet. The album reached #153 on the Billboard albums chart.[4]
Trouser Press said of the album that it showcases "vibrant, hummable tunes" as well as the band's affection for 1960s soul through their use of a horn section and a Wilson Pickett cover. AllMusic wrote that Peter Case's "rough-edged songs and the band's noisy performances are almost unbearably exciting," stating that "this is a true power pop classic."[1]
Record World said of the single "Now" that "ringing guitars and defiant vocals spell hit."[5]
Record World said that the single "Zero Hour" is "brash, rhythmic and full of crisp guitars riffs."[6]
