Sussman Lawrence, the legendary Minneapolis group that evolved into The Peter Himmelman Band, lives again with the reissue of its two distinguished and long out of print indie albums—"Hail To The Modern Hero!" (1980) and "Pop City" (1984)—in a strictly limited edition two-disc set entitled "The Complete Sussman Lawrence (1979 - 1985)" which includes four rare bonus tracks. Both albums were recorded at the height of Sussman Lawrence’s creative genius in sculpting a sound that veteran Billboard writer Jim Bessman, who covered the group for Variety, aptly called a cross between Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello.
