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 -
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!

RYAN ALLEN -
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!

American Suitcase -
Summerman
|
|
|
BACK IN STOCK ONCE AGAIN.THIS POWER POP CD continues to sell out!!!
This is super kool NORWEGIAN POWER POP!
This is a very psychedelic cd with beautiful vocal harmonies that deliver the goods. American Suitcase reminds me of an updated version of the Byrds in their classic era without being a clone!!! Also I can hear some Merrymakers production in the mix to further enhance the audio experience!
American Suitcase has their own charming sound which captures that Jingle Jangle fan, but this time on this release we find a bit more experimentation. In conclusion, this is a very lovely cd and I give it a full thumbs up! Get it!!!

PHIL ANGOTTI -
Afternoon Balloon
|
|
This is Phil Angotti and the Idea's 3rd and very hard to find release (and alone being worth the price of admission. On that cut, a Sgt. Pepper its one of the best!) The title track vibe radiates with tasteful use of strings etc..! The band branches out on this release covering a wide range of classic power pop stylings. From rock to baroque,this cd soothes the soul. The wonderful pure pop vocals of Phil Angotti tie everything together. Bottom line: Great power pop from Illinios! Grade A

PHIL ANGOTTI -
Juliette Foster Soundtrack
|
|
We recently found a very limited number of copies of this wonderful Jam release that has long been OUT OF PRINT and is HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE. This time around Phil scores a home run by creating a truly beautiful dream pop cd. Fans of Left Banke, Nick Drake, Duncan Browne, Colin Blunstone, and of course, the Beatles are going to love this disc. The sound is loaded with real life cellos, violins, acoustic guitars, and superb vocals. Rarely can an artist make an acoustic dominated cd that retains such a vibrant energy. Phil has done just that. The musical arrangements are brilliant and sound truly sublime! And most importantly, Phil has got one of the BEST pop voices on the planet! Be sure to pick this up!

PHIL ANGOTTI -
LIFE AND RHYMES
|
|
NEW RELEASE: JUNE 2013 Chicago power pop is alive and well! Power pop veteran PHIL ANGOTTI has just released his 10th full length cd! ...and his consistently great sound and style is fully intact. At times PHIL sounds like the near cousin of MATERIAL ISSUE front man Jim Ellison. But most of all PHIL is a huge BEATLE-Maniac...and that traditional sound has permanently fused it's way into his music. Songs like "I might come back" for example sounds like it was lifted straight off the "REVOLVER" LP by the fab four. Of the 12 new songs here..one is a remake "TOO LATE TOMORROW" The original version was great but perhaps PHIL has improved the audio on this track, taking it up a notch! Great songs either way, you can't go wrong here. The album is a nice mix of rockers "-- I see spaceships" and ballads ---" Goodbye Never Said" This disc sports a cool variety of sounds and styles...never boring and always mixing up the pace. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
