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!!!! *****

TOM ALFORD -
SECOND FOUNDATION
|
|
BACK IN STOCK AFTER SELLING. THIS IS A GREAT ONE...SO CHECK IT OUT!
It's been 15 years since Tom Alford's first release "Desire caught by the tail" came out in 1994. It's well worth the wait because "SECOND FOUNDATION" is a great cd and even outdoes Tom's excellent debut. Here we have an album that gleans musical inspiration from classic artists such as The Three O'clock, Tommy Keene, Shoes, Rain Parade, The Kinks, and The Beatles... The album delivers the goods and he saved the best song for last. The stunning "Strawberry Robot" That song alone is worth the entire price of admission. Please give this cd your attention because it's one of those wonderfully humble artistic creations that you really need to hear. 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!

ANDERSON -
IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY
|
|

This is the brand new cd from ANDERSON--An excellent pop band from THE NETHERLANDS. Their sound is good for fans of THE POST OFFICE, OMD, JOY ELECTRIC, HUMAN LEAGUE, THE KORGIS, THE DREAM ACADEMY and KEENE! This is perfect music for fans of synth pop bands that make heavy use of keyboards. Soft male vocals with nice femme backing harmony vocals really compliment one another. The sound is crystal clear and not cluttered. This cd is full of perfectly crafted pop music and the sound is SUBLIME! Comes in deluxe digi pack with a set of artsy postcards inside the case.GRADE A

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!

ANNA TROY BAND -
WAIT ANOTHER DAY
|
|
|
Great new cd on BLINDSPOT records. *BLINDSPOT* is Bart Mendoza's record label and he plays on this album...so already we know we're into something really good! Now on with the review. THE ANNA TROY BAND is great! I recently saw them live in Los Angeles, so I know what I'm talking about. This is the real deal. A real power pop/rocking/bluesy band that has a great female leader who can belt it out like a Joan Jett, or a Pat Benatar! The songs are catchy...the guitar playing superb! Production is sublime! If you enjoy female fronted rock bands this is an absolute must! One of the world's best and brightest new talents! Grade A

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!

TIM ANTHONY -
RETROFIT
|
|
|
Here is a brand new cd from Tim Anthony that brings his early 1980's recordings to light at last. The album was recorded with members of THE FLASHCUBES...so if you're a FLASHCUBES fan, this is a must! (Tim is a member also of the power pop band THE BRAMBLES.)..So fans of that band will want this as well! Sonically, this cd brings back to mind classic bands like 20/20, Tommy Tutone (867-5309), The Plimsouls, The Flashcubes, The Romantics, Elvis Costello, and all the great first wave pop stuff of the very early 80's circa..1980--1982. Sound quality is excellent and this disc sounds really fresh! Recommended to all serious power pop collectors and fans.

The AUTUMNS -
THE AUTUMNS +3 (Japan Import)
|
|
|
The Autumns are one of California's best kept Shoegaze/dreampop secrets. Imagine if Jeff Buckley sang in a Shoegaze band. Imagine the Cure jamming good with Sigur Ros. The band is orchestral with very tender vocals and a wall of distorted guitars waiting to jump out of the shadows at any given moments. This is a beautiful, gentle, abrasive, dynamic cd. If you have never heard this wonderful band...this is the best place to start. Songs like "Wish Stars" and "Wonderful, wonderful" are so amazing that if you can't feel the impact--you just aren't human! Grade A* (japan import)

The AUTUMNS -
FAKE NOISE FROM A BOX OF TOYS
|
|
|
Another great cd from this uniquely passionate band that is not so easy to pin down. Are they alternative, progressive, emo, shoegaze, indie,or pop? Does it really matter? I don't think so. Great music is great music. And this band makes moving music that is both gentle, harsh, and beautiful all at the same time. The vocals are high and melodic in the same way of Sigur Ros...and yet they are not like that band. I have yet to hear a band that sounds like the AUTUMNS. A true American original. ***This is a JAPANESE import which contains 4 BONUS TRACKS not available elsewhere! GRADE A
