The force behind The NEW BREED was singer/drummer Jim Mills.  Mills paid his bills working as a DJ at Carlisle, PA's WHYL. The rest of the line up consisted of guitarist Terry Brady who made his living as a printer. Guitarist Augie Dietz managed a carpet department in a home furnishings store. Bassist Terry Calaman was a home remodeler. Together the four friends started playing dances and clubs throughout central Pennsylvania.

1970 saw them record and release the self-produced "The Many Moods of the New Breed".  Released on their own New Breed label (they sold copies at their live shows), the album offered up a mixture of nifty original numbers and popular hits of the era.  Opening an album with a cover of 'Shotgun' probably wasn't the most original move in the book, but these guys managed to make it work. Propelled by Mills frantic drumming and his enthusiastic blue-eyed soul vocals the result was one of the better Motown covers recorded by a garage band.  As good as the group's covers were, the five Brady and Mills penned originals were even better. The only original on the first side, the ripping 'Rockbustin Blues' served to show these guys were rockers at heart.  Showcasing a great fuzz lead guitar, side two started out with another winner in the form of the blues-rocker Mississippi Delta' (crank it up!!), while the other three originals on side two are great (fuzz drenched and spirited).  The only disappointment was the closer "Never Ending Song of Love" which sounded like it was being performed for an audience of Mitch Miller fans.  Not an album for anyone looking for the cutting edge creativity....this one is straight from the garage!!  The New Breed sounded like they were having fun throughout the collection.  All told one of some collectors favorite finds and a group we bet was a ton of fun to hear at a local club !!!
