The Question are a Los Angeles-based power pop trio who gained popularity in the 1980s and 90s based on their legendary live shows and association with the Southern California Mod Scene. Though considered by some to be the most significant American mod band, The Question’s hook-heavy music often transcended any easy labeling and drew the admiration of non-Mods as well. Formed in 1982 by childhood friends Tony Rugolo and David White (both still in their teens), and eventually joined by 60s-style guitarist extraordinaire Phil Cusimano, the band quickly carved out a leading position in L.A.’s burgeoning mod/garage rock/paisley underground scene. With sophisticated songwriting juxtaposed against a ferocious live sound, the band garnered a large, loyal following and sold-out shows all over the Southland.
Though The Question released several recordings in the 1980s, starting with their two song appearance on the seminal L.A. compilation record ‘Warfrat Tales’ (where their tune ‘Shall Be Love’ was often cited by critics as the record’s strongest track), along with two 3-song singles, ‘Distance Apart’ and ‘Getting Through,’ the band never released the majority of its recordings. Until now. Oglio records has raided the vault, and is releasing The Question’s entire back catalog, over 20 tracks recorded throughout the 80s and 90s, most of which have never been heard before. ‘Much!’ will feature everything from the band’s earliest raw 4-track tunes to more sophisticated 24 track cuts, some featuring full horn section and keyboards. Question fans have been asking about these ‘forgotten’ recordings for decades. And now the wait is finally over.
