The AFTERNOONS -
BABY YOU KNOW THE DEAL
|
|
I have put this one in my top 10 best power pop cds for 2007! The Afternoons are from Cardiff, England and this cd is a Spanish import that includes one "Hit" after another. Rarely does one album have this many great songs. Strong melodies, and songs that stick in your head like glue are what The Afternoons do best. The band's sound is very diverse and if members of The Left Banke, Beatles, The Cars, and The Ramones got together, it might sound like this. A true original..real strings, real brass, synths, fuzz guitars, jangly guitars , gentle, and powerful sounds, and even the kitchen sink thown in for good measure!! GRADE A!!!! *****

JOE ALGERI -
THE STOCKHOLM YEARS
|
|
|
Excellent new cd from JACK AND THE BEANSTALK mainman JOE ALGERI. This cd is *highly* recommended to all you BYRDMANIACS out there. So which BYRD does JOE favor and sound most like? It would certainly have to be GENE CLARK. In fact, Joe does a faithful cover G.C.'s FULL CIRCLE on this disc. So if you dig the folk rock joys of 12 strings and tambourines, Dylan, and the Byrds, Joe Algeri truely has something special here just for you!
Well done and sincere!

American Suitcase -
Summerman
|
|
|
Many have been awaiting this new release for 2003!!! Well, Hallelujah!!! its finaly here. 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 conclustion, this is a very lovely cd and I give it a full thumbs up! Get it!!!

This is the brand new 2003 full length release for pop purist ANDREW. Released on the excellent Bus Stop Label, this is a full blown pop release complete with orchestra in the tradition of great 70's and 60's pop. The guitar sound is jangly and appealing, the production is crystal clear, and the songs are there. So with this in mind, I give this cd the thumbs up~! For fans of pure pop~!

PHIL ANGOTTI -
EAST SIDE SOUL
|
|
The new Jam release by PHIL ANGOTTI is here! "EAST SIDE SOUL" is one of his strongest efforts to date complete with his full band "THE IDEA", the album covers everything from his rock and roll to his sublime pastoral sounds. Fans of The Bealtes, Left Banke, Bob Dylan, and the Bee Gees(pre disco era) will *love* this cd. Phil delivers one heart felt tune after another. This is a full blown cd with pristeen production and the occasional use of real orchestration: strings, piano, flute etc... "EAST SIDE SOUL" is a powerpop manifesto just waiting for your ears to hear. GRADE A for awesome!

TIM ANTHONY -
THE HAPPY DOOR
|
|
New release! I am happy to say that "THE HAPPY DOOR" by Tim Anthony is the top of the pops! Fans of The Rubinoos, Pezband, Eric Carman, Badfinger, The Beatles, (some say he sounds more like TOM PETTY than the Beatles) and Ed James (He plays and sings on the disc!) will have much to rejoice about! This is an excellent cd all around. Good tunes, good singing, and good playing. What more could you want! Put this on your list of cds to pick up. You'll be glad you did!

APPLE is one of the year's biggest and best surprises. Coming from RUSSIA on the MALS label, the music here is all sung very clearly in English and the vocals are very nice and sincere sounding. Fans of THE FLOWER KINGS, CAMEL, PENDRAGON, YES, early GENESIS, and PINK FLOYD, will find alot to enjoy here. The music is very focused, both acoustic and electric, classic progressive rock ,beautifully performed, and never boring! A great cd by a great band that the world needs to here!!! GRADE A

(IMPORT) Atrid defines the true meaning of the word POWERPOP!!! Great catchy melodies with driving energy! This band makes short to the point tunes and the feeling is very fun. Kind of like listening to the early WHO albums and yet without being a copy of that. If you have never heard the band, I suggest you start with this cd and then pick up their other one later! Comes in cool digi-pack ! grade B+
