Tons of Reducers song samples are at
http://www.thereducers.com/audiofiles/. Try Let's Go, No Ambition, Better Homes and Gardens, Scared of Cops, Bums I Used to Know. They play mostly around eastern Conn. with an occasional jaunt to NY, but did a Japan tour after an old song on a new compilation started a boomlet for them over there.

That's actually the area I hail from. I'll have to check them out…

Where is New England?
That line's from "Rock n' Me"
Touchin' down in New England town
Feel the heat comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin' on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
And I'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city
