ABE SAVAS AND THE NEW STANDARDS OF BEAUTY -
LOVE CABAL
|
|
|
Here's a great new cd just out and it's one of the years nicest surprises! ABE SAVAS AND THE NEW STANDARDS OF BEAUTY present us with their debut cd and it's a real winner! One will notice immediately the high quality production and excellent sound. Also, the songwriting is on top of the game! This is melodic power pop which is well crafted and full of catchy melodies and glorious harmony vocals which are spot on! My favorite track is the opener "ANYTHING CALLED LOVE" In a perfect world this song would be a number #1 hit. It's really that good! On "ONE STEP APART" we hear some cool BYRDS 12 string guitar--another winner! "MARILOU" delivers some killer sax in the spirit of Harrison's "Savoy Truffle" from the Beatles " White Album " On "ACTORS" we hear a beautiful guitar picking ballad that would make Simon and Garfunkle proud! "DOING IT WRONG " sports a cool upfront bass riff and channels the spirit of ARCTIC MONKEYS. "BRUCE LEE" is a fun rocker that has a great groove! "HAND GRENADE" is in the spirit of John Cougar Mellancamp and is very catchy! All in all this is a great cd which holds the listeners attention from start to finish. Congratulation to ABE and his band on making an excellent album! and one that they should be very proud of !
For fans of LANNIE FLOWERS, ELVIS COSTELLO, SQUEEZE, JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP, and all cool power pop bands! GRADE A *****

AERIAL -
WHY DON'T THEY TEACH HEARTBREAK AT SCHOOL ?
|
|
|
Just when you least expect it, along comes one of the very *best* power cds of the year. AERIAL is what I am talking about. This band has all the needed ingredients in tact in order to deliver a "top of the pops" cd. The vocal harmonies at wonderful, the tunes are catchy, the guitars rock and jangle away with great delight, and the song arrangements are tight and intelligent!! This is a perfect cd which meets somewhere down the road between FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE and TEENAGE FANCLUB! GRADE A Top pick!

The AFTERNOONS -
BABY YOU KNOW THE DEAL
|
|
|
(SPANISH IMPORT) From Cardiff in the UK. This is one of England's finest power pop bands. Fans of Dodgy, Oasis, Bronco Bullfrog, Orgone Box, Farrah, The Junipers, etc... add THE AFTERNOONS to your list of ESSENTIAL and current BRIT-POP that should be in your collection. This is probably their best cd, so start with this one! GRADE A

The AFTERNOONS -
FAN FICTION
|
|
|
(UK IMPORT) One of our favorite power pop bands from England are THE AFTERNOONS. They are simply a wonderful band who craft heartfelt and sensible power pop tunes. Their latest "Fan Fiction" is another winning cd . They can be heard on the Jam compilation "Sweet Relief" #3 or check them out online. They have a sound all their own and really not one to easily compare to. We are fans and we give them a "GRADE A" review!

ALARM SET PM -
FRAMEWORK
|
|
|
ALARM SET PM is the brain child of PETER MORRIS and MATT WILLSEA. Both are members of the great indie rock band CARDBOARD HIGHWAY. This side project shows the band exploring a much more gentle and ambient sound. The mix of both vocal and instrumental tracks is a nice variety. Fans of artists like Elliot Smith, and Brian Eno (especially his ambient works) should find this music quite appealing. We dig this and think you will too. *****

BASEMENT PUNK
|
|
|
Brand new for AUGUST 2016 ... Wow. This cd is so good! Just to clarify, this is not a punk rock cd ( the title is not a reference to that style) However, this is hands down an all out POWER POP cd that is really fantastic!!! Fans of BIG STAR, Matthew Sweet, Teenage Fanclub, Nick Piunti, Chris Richards, The Legal Matters, The DB's, Greg Pope, Let's Active, Chris Bell, Alex Chilton, The Beatles, etc.. will easily connect with the style. For me it's "love at first sound" again it's a fantastic cd and one of the year's best! It's rocks, it pop's and the sound is really alive with energy! Yeah!

EVERET ALMOND -
AN INTRODUCTION TO
|
|
|
As the title suggests, this is a chance to get familiar with a power pop artist you most likely do not know. EVERET ALMOND makes to the point pop songs and has that pop sensibility mixed with an indie approach. The sound is home grown so if you're looking for major label production , please look elsewhere. If good songs are what matters most to you, please take a listen. It's good. This music has been compared most often to later era BEATLES and EMITT RHODES self titled LP.

EVERET ALMOND -
ALMOND, EVERET
|
|
|
The most recent of his three cds which were released all at the same time. We'll take a quote from Alan Haber/
PurePopRadio.com "Think Emitt Rhodes meets the Beatles meets Dr. Dog..."
So there you have it!

EVERET ALMOND -
WINDSOP FIELD
|
|
|
The disc starts out with one of his finest songs "Cigarette" and yes, it does remind us in some ways of "BADFINGER" . The next track "SINCE SHE'S GONE" has a BEATLES "White Album" feel to it. Great sound. This is followed by another song reminding us of THE TURTLES. The whole disc falls firmly in the late 60's early 70's realm of pop music . That's a good thing as that era was an amazing time for music. This just might be his best cd but they are all good in different ways. Check it out!

ALOFT -
CLOSER TO NOWHERE
|
|
|
ALOFT is a power pop/ classic rock band from Michigan consisting primarily of Billy Mrak --Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, vocals and Todd Brasseur---guitar and drums. The band is excellent and takes its influence from artists like Tom Petty, Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young , and a little bit of The Byrds. What makes the band different is that the tracks are fairly long and the band is not afraid to stretch out a bit. This is a good thing and makes the band unique as they successfully merge both elements of classic power pop and classic power pop together! Highly recommended~!

|
|
The DOUBLE CD consists of two excellent albums "SELECTION BOX" "APPLE YARD SESSIONS" This excellent band mixes power pop and folk pop to great effect. Fans of Wilco, Jellyfish, Teenage Fanclub, and Simon and Garfunkle will find much to like here. This is easy to digest music and will be like visiting an old friend. You'll be comfortable and right at home with this one! ****

ANDREW TAYLOR -
SOMEWHERE TO BE
|
|
|
(SPANISH IMPORT) Andrew Taylor may be known by many of you because he comes from the UK band DROPKICK. This is his new solo album and it's a solo album in the purest way! WRITTEN , PERFORMED , and RECORDED BY ANDREW TAYLOR. Andrew does it all and he does it very, very well. Beautiful harmony vocals, jangly guitars, and sweet sounding tunes abound! Who shall we compare this to? THE BYRDS, TEENAGE FANCLUB, MATTHEWS SOUTHERN COMFORT, CROSBY STILLS AND NASH, COSMIC ROUGH RIDERS, etc... This is a great cd! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
