The MC4 grew stronger. Their second single, 1988's Clear Blue Sky is more frenetic than ever. On "Clear Blue Sky" Wiz lets the rain clouds depart for a host ringing guitars and an expansive chorus that just keeps building as the song winds up.
"Distant Relatives" is another song of sweet sorrow. While Wiz, with his vocals dominating the mix, laments the absence of his family, the chorus still cries out, "Don't ever leave me, Don't ever wander, don't ever let me slip away". A masterwork, only made sadder by Wiz's early passing.

Dude...went to the same gig and got a DM in the head from some twat of a crowd surfer. A seriously under rated band. Magic Bullets is a classic.

Now the Doughboys I saw many a time they were brilliant contemporaries of the MC4 (and hence Wiz joining the Doughboys for a time.)
