Not everything comes out on Bandcamp, and I have to recognize that some of the biggest players in power pop also use YouTube.
Geoff Palmer (The Connection) is prepping a new album with Ramones-like “Give It Up,” and it sounds fantastic.
Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Lickerish Quartet, Jellyfish) gets back to basics on “I’m Starting A Band” and is joined by the great
Chris Price on “Rockin’ It Our Way.” Geoff’s ex-bandmate
Brad Marino is also doing some damage with the new single “Lucy.”
Thomas Walsh (Pugwash) has “A Good Day For Me” that doesn’t stray far from his band’s roots, still as melodic as ever. Finally,
Sofa City Sweetheart offers a bright sunny gem in “It Wasn’t You” a love song that isn’t quite that, but what a vibe here. With September almost here, we’ll soon say goodbye to summer and move into the busiest month for music releases. Stay tuned!
