The opening tracks "HOME" and "WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY"
(*in memory of the great late WIL WOODROWE*) are filled with classic WHO style guitar chord riffs amidst psychedelic sounds. Songs like "VANITY FARE" and "CHURCH OF BYRDS" are excellent tributes to the jingle jangle sound with layered sweet harmony vocals. Within this cd many interesting sound effects are tastefully sequenced within the mix-- backwards guitars, sounds of nature, layered harmony vocals etc..The spirit of "Revolver" "5D" and "Piper at the gates of dawn" are floating freely in the mix. Most of the songs range within two to three minutes holding true to the tried and tested power pop formula. Early reports agree that this is one of JEREMY'S best albums to date...sure to win many new fans and continue to please those who already know! Try it you'll like it.

New release for 2009 on Jam Records... The 4th amazing full length cd from the Michigan Shoegaze/Dream pop/Indie pop quintet "glowfriends" is here. The band takes the listener into further and deeper sonic landscapes making this their finest and most uplifting release to date!
The songwriting is melodically strong, production is crystal clear with walls of layered guitars, bass, drums and vibraphone. Ambient effects abound through a slipstream of sonic delight. Thanks to the talented mixing hands of Charlie Piper this is top gear production. Sweet layered male/female harmonies from Mark, April, and Holly Morris bring a perfectly smooth genetic blend that is rarely found in most groups. Bottom line: This is a sublime Shoegaze/dream pop cd that will please fans of DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, RIDE, AMERICAN ANALOG SET, SLOWDIVE, IRON AND WINE, PEDRO THE LION, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, ASOBI SEKSU, JIMMY EAT WORLD, SUFJAN STEVENS, SWERVEDRIVER, THE SMITHS, and TREMBLING BLUE STARS!

The CAMBELL STOKES SUNSHINE RECORDER -
MAKES YOUR EARS SMILE
|
|
|
Once upon a time there was a really cool pop band from the UK called BRONCO BULLFROG. That band released 5 cool cds that sounded like THE WHO, BEATLES, TEENAGE FANCLUB, and CROSBY STILLS AND NASH. Then they broke up leaving their fans in tears. But cry no more! Up from the ashes of that band comes THE CAMPBELL STOKES SUNSHINE RECORDER! You probably won't be too surprised when I tell you this...they sound a lot like BRONCO BULLFROG and carry on with the same melodic rock and pop tradition!... And for us this is a very, very good thing. Thank you ANDY MORTEN for carrying on and waving the power pop flag so righteously! Long may you run! HIGHLY and TRULY recommended.

CHRIS RICHARDS AND THE SUBTRACTIONS -
SAD SOUNDS OF THE SUMMER
|
|
It's the latest and the *greatest* from CHRIS RICHARDS and his band the SUBTRACTIONS... Already a contender for one of the best power pop albums of 2009! This is every bit a power pop album but coming on much stronger than all previous works. This time they really hit the nail on the head! (Check out "I MISS JULY" or "OH CANADA" and you'll see what I mean) This album has 10 perfect power pop jewels making this album all killer and no filler. The album rocks the most of anything yet, and it rocks most righteously!...never wanking, or over cranking..It's just right on solid pop!~ (The pop power formula is well respected.) Fans of jangly rocking power pop lending itself to Teenage Fanclub, The Beatles, Gin Blossoms, Matthew Sweet, The Shambles, DM3,and the more recent Valley Lodge will dig it the most. ***** A BIG GRADE A for a job well done!!! Cool guitars and sweet harmony laden vocals make the grade!

SHPLANG -
MY BIG THREE WHEELER
|
|
New release on Jam for 2009! SHPLANG has just released the *best* album of their career so far. This is the 4th release from this ultra fine L.A based psych-pop-rock outfit. SHPLANG is a very fun group to listen to and their crystalline sound is rooted in 60's psychedelia while adding a modern twist to the mix. You can hear the inspiration of first generation 60's bands such as Beach Boys, Pink Floyd,and Electric Prunes filtered through the more recent vibes of bands like Cake, High Llamas, Guided by Voices, and U2. This unique morphing of styles makes for a very fun audio experience taking the listener through at least 5 decades of creative rock music! "My Big Three Wheeler" is a retro-active bundle of psychedelic joy! Highly recommended, fun, and free music for the open minded!

ELECTRIC FORGIVENESS -
ECHOES AND BOOMS
|
|
NEW JAM RELEASE!!!!!
ELECTRIC FORGIVENESS is a new band consisting of: JOHN BUNDRICK: (The Who's keyboardist) JON DAWSON: (From the band THIRD OF NEVER).. with JEREMY MORRIS on electric guitar and TONY STIGLITZ on drums.
This album is a delight for both progressive rock and electronic music fans alike! Highly instrumental, the easiest sound comparison would be PORCUPINE TREE'S : VOYAGE 34 album. There are many shades of PINK FLOYD (Meddle,etc.. ), TANGERINE DREAM, THE ORB and space rock floating in the mix. Psychedelic journey soundtrack music is the theme with a tongue and cheek flashback to the hippie days of the innocence and ignorance. With titles like "Gilmour was Pink" and "Dark side of the Sun" the inspirations should be obvious! An audio treat for headphone buffs! Superb sounds with lots of ear candy! Highly Recommended!

GREG WOLLAN -
DEEP CALLS 2 DEEP
|
|
|
Greg Wollan started out as a member of Steve Taylors band many moons ago. From there Greg went on to become a member of Doug Powells wonderful band (Many know Doug who also played with Todd Rundgren.) More recently Greg Wollan has fully matured into a really fine solo artist on his own. He makes majestic and heartfelt music that is a perfect marriage of progressive/pop/rock/music. The songs here are lengthy and sublime! The production is flawless and the harmony vocals are heavenly as is the music as a whole. The vocals call to mind Dennis Deyoung of Styx, Kansas, Phil Keaggy, Neal Morse (Spocks Beard), Ed James, and more. This is a fantastic cd musically and is highly recommended to all fans of intelligent progressive rock, It's music with a message. If you have never heard Greg Wollan before, please start here with this release. As for his fans, this is his deepest and most mature release to date. Living up to its title, "Deep calls 2 Deep" is a major achievement in the world of progressive/pop/rock and certainly not to be missed! ***Special introductory nice price!!!

THIRD OF NEVER -
MOOD RING
|
|
The debut JAM release from THIRD OF NEVER is already in my top 10 list for 2007. The cd is a must have for all power pop fans. The brain child of Jon Dawson, THIRD OF NEVER boasts an all star line up with appearances from members of THE GRIP WEEDS, THE SMITHEREENS, and THE WHO. Kurt Reil does the lead vocals, drums, keys, and guitars, John "Rabbit" Bundrick lays down some classic Mellotron and other keyboard sounds. John Dawson covers guitars, Vince Grogan on Bass, CJ Grogan on guitars, vocals, keys, and harmonica. Dennis Diken on Drums, with Kristen Reil on slide guitar. If you dig The Beatles, The Grip Weeds, New England, Foo Fighters, and The Who, you will find much to like here. Their cover of Pete Townsends "Let my love open the Door" eclipses the original with it's over the top energy and hard drive. "Mood Ring" is a feel good release with many positive sound vibrations. ( The cd is grade A all the way) Once you pop this in your player, you'll be in the mood to hear "Mood Ring" over and over again. Releases this good only come along once in a blue moon so don't miss out. Bottom line: Get it now!

RAQUELS BOYS -
THE SPY BUSINESS
|
|
"The Spy Business" is the latest release from America's power pop band "RAQUELS BOYS". Those who heard their last cd know that this band is all about 60's retro power pop on par with the many SUNDAZED record releases The sound is guitar driven, with very occasional keyboard flourishes added to spice up the sound. The vibe of this music is that of "Sunshine pop" tunes from a more innocent era. No politics, no pretensions, just pure power pop fun. The spirit of 67!

JEREMY -
MADE IN FRANCE
|
|
Jeremy recently performed many concerts while touring England, France, and Spain. While in France, this album was recorded. The disc is part live/part studio and focuses mainly on Jeremy's Beatlesque guitar stylings and vocals. This is a crystal clear recording and highly recommended. Strong points are the amazing atmospheric elements and pure pop performances. Some have called this Jeremy's "naked album" because there are no overdubs or extra layering. In short, this is reel to real! Also appearing on this album are April Morris on percussion and vocals, and Guillermo Cazenave. "Made in France" is a breath of fresh air. Organic in nature, pure in sound.

SPINNING JENNIES -
Full Volume: THE BEST OF
|
|
***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
This is a wonderful new release from the much acclaimed San Francisco power pop rockers SPINNING JENNIES! Beside being a "best of" this 18 track cd contains unreleased tracks from the band and rare tracks that are nearly impossible to find. In fact, their 5 other cds are out of print, so here's a chance to get their music once again. For those in the know, SPINNING JENNIES have been compared to THE POSIES, and THE SHOES,but it goes much beyond that. The band stands strong in their own style and sound. They are rock and pop solid unlike so many other bands and very consistent in making solid sturdy tunes that stand up to the test of time. FULL VOLUME: The Best of Spinning Jennies is a testimony to a great band that should be revisited time and time again. GRADE A release.

Songs that are rich in melody and guitars that shimmer with beauty lend references to classic bands like The Beatles, The Hollies and the Byrds, but they're done as only Jeremy can do them. He has a sound that's distinctive and instantly recognizable. Jeremy's songs are natural and free flowing. The greatest music has always been born from the heart, and that's exactly where Jeremy's creations stem from. "

Certainly this will touch even the most jaded of ears. "Fruit Tree" is a special offering on par with George Winston's "December" cd and the piano works of Tony Banks, Tim Story, Mike Oldfield, and Anthony Phillips. The 10 tracks flow together very nicely and make for a listening experience that you will want to hear again and again! Real music is still alive and well! Fruit Tree is quickly becoming one of Jeremy's most popular releases! It's refreshing music full of life and love. Grade A

After just delivering a killer live set at the International Pop Overthrow festival in Philadelphia, Blank Pages have proven that they are truely an awesome power pop band! The sound of their new cd evokes Big Star's "Radio City"!!! But for sheer dynamics, the production and sound quality of this cd eclipses that album. Along with Big Star, this band sounds like The Who (check out the Keith Moon drumming),and Teenage Fanclub (in the vocal and guitar department) This cd is bursting forth with pure power pop energy! This New Jersey band is one to keep your eyes on! Grade A

The Richies -
Forever and Today

The Ritchies are the first in a run of Austrailian artists to have a release through Jam records in the USA. Their cd is produced by pop genious Michael Carpenter who also plays on the disc. His influence is ALL OVER this cd! Michael Carpenter fans you need this cd!!! It totally makes sense that MC produced this because the Ritchies are very close in style to the following great artists: Beatles, Pyramidiacs,Finkers, Michael Carpenter, Merrymakers,Owsley, Starbelly, Spongetones, Myracle Brah, etc...If you dig super cool vocal harmonies, jangly guitars, and happy vibrations, you will not be disappointed! This cd is GREAT!

Terry Eason -
Elephant Garden
|
|
Brand new Fall 2003 release on Jam Records. Terry Eason creates sublime pop music that has threads of Wilco,
Neil Young, Dump Truck, Bobby Sutliff, Marty Wilson Piper( of the Church)and much of today's current indie power pop scene. Terry's voice is wispy, soft and gentle. He multi-layers lots of sweet vocal harmonies in a very genteel kind of way. This vocal delight is interspaced with many layers of Neil Young style guitars.
The music is disciplined and never grunge, staying true to the pop format.
In this context,the sound is unique and groundbreaking for pop music. The lyrics are often sureal and yet connected telling stories of broken relationship and struggle. This cd gets a 10 out of 10 and sends a strong message that pop-art is alive and well!
The cd will also be a great addition to any serious music fans collection.

New 2003 release from prolific artist Jeremy Morris. On this stellar release,
the style remains true to his pop roots exploring the sounds of Beatles, Byrds, Hollies, Big Star, etc.. merging with some psychedelic sounds and rings true with the jangly pop spirit of 60's and 70's pop! Harmonies galore, and Rick string guitars abound awash a shimmery and uplifting production! ..."Pop Dreams" proves to be his best yet. Now that's saying a mouthful, as everything Jeremy creates is fabulous.

The Ringles -
Dish Full of Ringles
|
|
The Ringles have surfaced from Princeton, Illinois where they crank outtheir own special brand of fab four influenced pop! Thinkpsychedelic pop, and then think of bands like The GreenPajamas. Songs like "Sour dour Sky" are really far out !This would have fit nicely on "Revolver" Then there's theopener "Mary Go Round"-I sure-fire hit with crunchy fuzzguitars and swirly fazed vocals. Or, if you like janglypop "I won't be listening" sounds like it could have beenan early Move track. Alas, the finale "Shooting down thesun" sounds like an out-take from the first Rooks album. Sothere you have it, - a straight ahead 60's laced powerpoppin cd just waiting to jump out of your speakers! (Fansof the Reasonars, Get Hip, and Sundazed labels, take note!)The Ringles are fabulous! Listed at #2 in Eric Sorensen'sBEST top 10 power pop cds for 2001!!!!! yeah!!!!

JEREMY -
SOLID ROCK
|
|
SOLID ROCK is one Jeremy's more guitar heavy releases from his very prolific catalog. Imagine the Beatles jamming out to "Daytripper" with Jimi Hendrix on guitar and you might have a clue. The songs are longer and feature some suberp guitar work that is truely unique in this context. Best of all, the Beatlesque trademark vocals remain intact making this another classic Jeremy release. Here's what one British journalist has to say about "Solid Rock" ....."Imagine a cross between The WHO and The BEATLES with Rick Nielson from Cheap Trick replacing George. If you like your pop on the heavier side, then this is well worth checking out"-(Luke Magazine, England) and another US journalist says... "Not only can this guy write great tunes, he's got the vocal harmony thing down and he can play the hell out of the guitar!"(Babysue Review) " and a California journalist says this ...Jeremy has architected a powerful sound that eternally impresses" (Beverly Paterson-Twist and Shake) Highly Recommended to those who like to pop and rock!

Jeremy -
Seven
|

By far his most introspective release, here we find Jeremy wearing his heart on his sleeve! (Thisalbum is overflowing with sensitive acoustic tunes featuring piano and guitar in a simple setting.) If youlike pretty, melancholic, dreamy, heartfelt pop, then this is for you. Consider JOHN LENNON'S "IMAGINE" album as areference point. Journalist David Bash considers SEVEN to be one of Jeremy's best albums along side the recent "POPHEAVEN" CD! Mellow pop for mellow people.

For those who enjoyed the pure power pop of "POP HEAVEN" this follow up CD picks right up wherethe last disc left off! "Another spanking new record from our boy Jeremy who must never eat or sleep because he is so busy making music! And beautiful music it is, regulated by angelic vocals, chiming guitars, mountain-sized hooks and inspirational lyrics. "Rare" is a colorful kaleidoscope of rapturous pop performances covering everything from the playful rock and roll of "Here We Go Now" to "Waiting There" a heart-stopping piano laced ballad... Encore encore! (Beverly Paterson,-Twist and Shake)
