The Plimsouls were an American rock band formed in 1978 in Los Angeles, California. Known for their blend of power pop, punk, and new wave, the group was fronted by singer-songwriter Peter Case, who later carved out a successful solo career. Their most notable hit, "A Million Miles Away," embodies their signature sound: energetic, guitar-driven melodies paired with emotionally resonant lyrics. Despite their relatively brief existence, The Plimsouls left a lasting impact on the 1980s rock scene and continue to influence modern alternative and indie rock bands.
