I can hardly wait for this one, as it’s been four years since Traffic and Weather first hit my ears. This is a terrific example of what Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood do so well together. Perfect melodies with a lyrical focus on quirky characters. As the bands track record is pretty stellar, its seems safe to pre-order Sky Full Of Holes.

Pugwash and The Cars preview
‘Answers on a postcard’ (exclusive Pug-blog preview clip) by Pugwash
The poptastic Pugwash is almost ready with its newest album. Thomas Walsh and friends are hard at work so I expect good things when this album is released.
The Cars have returned and they sound much better now (sorry, Todd). This impressive video was released. Pre-order the album “Move Like This” here.
Jerry Rio "Foreverland"
Jerry Rio is the talent behind last years top ten band Sunrise Highway. This song is a preview of things to come. The lyrics describe a wistful dream of “Foreverland” where “rock and roll makes you feel you’ll never get old.” Loving that 12 string Rickenbacker strum too. Note: Since I’ve been getting lots of video previews lately, I had a video gallery created. Check it out!
New Mike Viola on the way…
Soundtrack Of My Summer by Mike Viola
The incredible Mike Viola is planning a summer release, and I for one cannot wait. Mike is assisted by Victor Indrizzo on drums and Sean Hurley on bass. Visit his new band page on Facebook! Lots of new releases are set up for April, get ready to dive right in!
Will Kontiki return?
In 1997 one of the best power pop albums ever was released. Cotton Mather’s “Kontiki” was it. Now Robert Harrison (Future Clouds and Radar) is pushing for a 2 disc re-release on Kickstarter. The hilarious “man-on-the-street” interviews are typical of the general public’s perception of great power pop. This is a worthy project that I hope you’ll all support.
