The Connells' second album, "Fun & Games," delivered a collection of taut, hook-filled alternative rock that built upon their debut without straying far from its established sound.
- Released on June 6, 1989, by The Bicycle Music Company, "Fun & Games" was the second album from the North Carolina quintet.
- The album was recorded atété Music in Charlotte, NC, with producer Mitch Easter, known for his work with R.E.M. and Let's Active.
- "Fun & Games" failed to chart on release, a common fate for indie releases of the era.
Hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina, The Connells were a touchstone of the American indie rock and alternative scene throughout the late 80s and 90s. "Fun & Games" arrived as their second album, following their 1987 debut "Darkness on the Edge of Town," and found the band continuing to hone their signature blend of jangly guitars and melancholic vocals.
