Saucy Monky -
Celebrity Trash
|
|
Excellent new band from Los Angeles. Contains two lead female vocalists whose harmonies are a sweet Everly Brothers/Veruca Salt perfection. Great power pop indeed and great songs as well. I highly recommend this cd and be sure to see them live if you can!
They rock and pop with the best of them, and the song arrangements are inventive and superb! One of this years best dicoveries!!!!

The See Saw -
After the Sunset
|
|
|
The Seesaw is one of Austria's finest power pop bands and are way up their with the cream of the very top Euro pop! Lead singer Stootsie has a super appealing sounding John Lennon flavored vocal. Here we find influences of Beatles, Byrds, Stone Roses, Millenium, Grip Weeds, Rockfour, Cosmic Rough Riders, and all the great pop bands.This music has a great timeless feeling and sound to it. The guitars jingle and jangle very nicely and the harmony vocals are sweet! In conclusion, the Seesaw is a wise purchase for any serious power pop fan!!! Grade A for solid pop!

BRAD SENNE -
AERIAL VIEWS
|
|
|
The new cd from BRAD SENNE is magnificent folk pop of the high order! I am talking about modern folk pop! Nick Drake's "PINK MOON" is a fair comparison but this album is not so cut and dry a that one. Sound wise this is right up the alley of all IRON AND WINE fans! Think of IRON AND WINE songs like " Sunset soon forgotten" or "Each coming Night" as reference points. Fans of DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE will be right at home with this too! (Think of songs like "I will follow you into the dark" from their "PLANS" album for proper reference. But for me, I enjoy BRAD SENNE more than that. He has a special atmospheric quality to his acoustic tunes that he makes all his own. (Brian Eno would be pleased with his ambiance!) Trance like guitar finger picking abounds and puts you in another world. Like a modern day Simon and Garfunkle but a little more current and perhaps a little deeper. Highlights include the opening "Sing and Dance" and the ambient Nick Drake inspired "Out in the Open" GRADE A

*****One my favorite cds in this catalog! The excellent vocals are Beatlesque with top notch, thick and punchy production. (nice harmonies abound!)This 3 piece trio of guitar, bass, and drums comes from CALIFORNIA and they delivers the goods with solid, basic, guitar dominated power pop. Excellent songwriting makes this one of the best cds in this catalog! Fans of Beatles, The Fire Apes, Grip Weeds, Redd Cross, and Adrian Belew, please check this band out! GRADE A

(GERMAN IMPORT) His second solo CD. Anothergreat album from a man with superior pop instinct. Thisalbum explores the folk laced side of pop but withoutbecoming a folk album! An amazing feat and accomplishmentof total originality in pop! Reflective pop for thethinking man. This album could be the forerunner for thephrase "ambient pop"!

(GERMAN IMPORT) Best known as the lead vocalist and mainman for CHEEPSKATES this is his third release.THIS IS GETTING HARDER TO FIND,DONT WAIT TOO LONG!!! This is a really fun album to listen to. Perhaps musically, a return to childhood innocence and the summation of his entire musical career on one album! A cornucopia of janglypop, pure pop, garage pop , and folk pop! Primarily,however, embracing the spirit of pure pop, this album is definitely recommended. Find out why! One of THE BEST CDs to grace this catalog!

Shoes -
Silhouette
|
|
|
Their obscure fifth album. Contains 3 bonus tracks. On this one they get a bit "new wave" at times and lack some "focus" but it's tastefully done and the great Shoes sound remains intact!
