This is light and bouncy pop. I didn't feel a need to immediately shut it off but I didn't feel like I had to listen to all of it.
The Contrasts don't appear to have existed for very long - they released two singles and that was it. "What A Day" appears to have charted locally only.
The song's singer and songwriter, Bob Morrison, was based in Los Angeles at the time and trying to make it as a folk singer and actor. In the 1970s, he moved to Nashville and became a successful country music songwriter. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2016. The Contrasts, whoever they were, were just a blip in his career - his Wikipedia page doesn't mention them.
Interestingly enough, there was another band called The Contrasts that existed at about this time - they were based in San Diego and played garage rock with a fuzz-tone guitar sound. They don't appear to have ever recorded anything.
