GARDEN OF WEEDS

|
|
The 2nd cd from California's power pop guys SHAMUS TWINS is another winner. This rock band sounds like shades of Beatles, Grip Weeds, and Fire Apes. It's a really nice band and both their cds are highly recommended.

The opener "On the airwaves" is an absolutely awesome track in the Move/new wave vein of power pop! It's killer! So powerful, like Keith Moon's ghost came down to play! .The last track is very long and a psychedelic freak out!~ and all the rest of the tracks are great too!

Shplang -
American Cream
|
|
|
Nice variety influenced power pop from Los Angeles. Shplang are one of California's hidden treasures. The band just finished playing a killer live show at this year's International Pop Overthrow. See them live if you can! The music is guitar based and clean. Should appeal to fans of modern retro pop. This is their 3rd and most polished release to date.

Shplang -
Self Made Monk
|
|
|
This is the second CD from a band that gets better with each release. Heavy 60's and 70's vibes are going down on this one - while retaining a modern recording sound. Great for indie pop fans of the Parasol records variety.
Lead vocalist Peter Marston has an appealing pop voice! A band well worth checking out.

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!

SINTONICOS -
SINTONICOS
|
|
|
(SPANISH IMPORT) New for 2014. SINTONICOS is a brand new Spanish power pop band formed from the ashes of the excellent previous power pop band DESCONOCIDOS (aka "The Unknowns") The good news for fans of that band is that the style and music of SINTONICOS is really just as good and probably even better!. That means you have a nice cd full of lovely jangly power pop songs that reminds us all at tines of The Beatles, Cirrone, Wilco, The Jayhawks, The Byrds, Tom Petty, and of course Teenage Fanclub. If I were to describe this music with one sentence I would say..."SINTONICOS makes really nice, sincere music with a pure kind feeling that makes you feel really good on the inside" All songs are sung in Spanish and this is one of the top Spanish power pop cds to come out this year! So far, so good! Bravo!

SINTONICOS -
POR TU BOCA
|
|
|
( SPANISH IMPORT) The new 2024 cd from SINTONICOS is here! It contains 13 new power pop tunes that are all sung in SPANISH!
This band reminds me of other great SPANISH POWER POP BANDS like THE SEASONGS, PROTONES, etc ...and many more! The classic SPANISH POWER POP style is strong here....which means lots of jangle rock guitars, nice harmony vocals, and strong melodies! An excellent addition to the SPANISH POWER POP SCENE! *****

SKYTONE -
ECHOES IN ALL DIRECTIONS
|
|
|
Just got this one in from CANADA. SKYTONE makes timeless guitar power pop with wonderful vocal harmonies and pleasant tunes. They blend acoustic guitars and electric guitars creating a nice "Jangle" effect.They remind me at times of "GRAPES OF WRATH" mixed with some BEATLES or a refined 'Teenage Fanclub" The is an excellent cd. GRADE A for this one! (Import)

SKYTONE -
SHINING OVER YOU
|
|
|
Nice new Canadian import on the BEAUTIFUL MUSIC label. To my knowledge, this is the bands 2nd release and this is solid indie power pop that is simply very easy to enjoy! SKYTONE makes music that has a nice mix of jangle pop, psych pop, and indie pop. I think the bands strong point is in the *vocal* department! These guys know how to sing and make nice melodies. The tracks "I will follow" and "Working Class Lament" are great examples of this ...the vocal harmonies are superb and hint at the Beach Boys. Their sound is so unique mixing elements of The Strokes, Beach Boys, Plain White T's, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, and many others. BOTTOM LINE: SKYTONE is a winner and worthy to be heard!!! Pick this up and hear why.
