Sloan
One of the greatest power pop bands to cross the Canadian border is Sloan, and the new album Double Cross is a shout-out to the band’s 20th (or XX) anniversary. Just to get you salivating here is the first single “Follow The Leader” free for a limited time. Full release due 5/10/11 – Download Here

The Smithereens
With all the Beatle and Who tributes out of thier system, the band comes out with a new album full of originals. It has released “Sorry” as a new single from the up coming album, and it marks a return to the greatness for The Smithereens. You’ll be sorry if you don’t get this one. Itunes exclusive

The Nines
Steve Eggers from The Nines gives us a preview of a song from the new album Polarities, featuring 15 years of unreleased songs by the Nines. I’m sure over that time he’s collected plenty of untapped melodic gold. Here is a preview of “Goodbye Janine.”

Where have the Merrymakers gone?

All the waiting… and for naught. The Merrymakers have broken up officially. But then again, this band hasn’t put out new material since 1998. The Swedish band was one of the best ELO/Jellyfish styled power pop bands ever, leaving us No Sleep ‘til Famous and Bubblegun as great albums. But don’t despair Power Popaholics, David Myhr is hard at work on a solo album expected soon. See and hear a little snippet and some instrumentals.

Buddy Love returns!

May 22, 2010July 6, 2024 powerpopaholic 1 Comment

The new single “Crying Town” is a totally new direction for Buddy Love, away from the DIY Power Pop (that brought them their notoriety in the 80’s) to “ahem” mature adult contemporary rock artists with songs that can stand the test of time and be listened to again and again. Their new album also called “Crying Town” will be released later this summer.
