UK rock magazine MoJo featured a piece recently on the ’60s Connecticut band Pulse and the reissue of its self-titled album, which includes 17 bonus tracks. It is on Mascot Records licensed by Poison Ring.
The article makes note of the many tracks that have appeared in popular TV shows, broadccast and cable, from NBC to HBO Max.
