The Plimsouls are an American power pop and alternative rock band that emerged in the late 1970s and gained prominence in the early 1980s. Originating in Paramount, California, the band was founded by singer/songwriter Peter Case, who became the driving force behind their distinct blend of rock, pop, punk, and new wave sounds. The Plimsouls are best known for their hit single "A Million Miles Away," which became a staple of early 80s rock scene and was featured in the film "Valley Girl."

While the band originally split in the mid-1980s, the enduring appeal of their vibrant, catchy hooks and energetic performances have fueled a number of reunions and live shows that have kept their legacy alive. The group has released several live albums that capture their raw and infectious stage presence, including "Beach Town Confidential: Live at the Golden Bear 1983" and "Live! Beg, Borrow & Steal: October 31, 1981 Whisky A Go Go," offering fans a nostalgic taste of their prime touring days. Throughout their career, The Plimsouls have retained a loyal fanbase, with their music continuing to resonate for those seeking the spirited sound of classic alternative and power pop rock.
