The Tweeds were an American power pop band that emerged in the late 1970s. Characterized by their melodic hooks and catchy rhythms, the band's style was reflective of the new wave and pop-rock movements of the time. They were notably fronted by singer-songwriter Mick Chorba, who later found success with his band, the Successful Failures. The Tweeds' most significant work is arguably their 1980 single "I Need That Record," a song that has since become a cult classic in power pop circles.
