The Plimsouls are an American rock band that emerged from Los Angeles, California, in 1978. The group was founded by Peter Case, a singer, guitarist, and songwriter who had previously fronted the early new wave band The Nerves. The foundational lineup of The Plimsouls featured Case on vocals and Vox guitar, Eddie Munoz on guitar, David Pahoa on bass, and Lou Ramirez on drums.
The band's initial release was the 1980 EP, Zero Hour. This was followed by their self-titled full-length album, The Plimsouls, in 1981. Their most significant recognition came in 1983 when the single "A Million Miles Away" was featured on the soundtrack for the film Valley Girl. The song achieved moderate success on new wave rock radio. The band also made a visual appearance in the movie, performing "A Million Miles Away" and portions of two other songs.
