Time marches on and so do we. We start with a quirky fun video from a new band, My Mom is Here — as they beam down to Earth on a mission of cosmic vengeance. EP is expected in August. Also coming up one of the best power pop bands is back, The Airport 77s recalls “1999 (Take Me Back)” a rocking tune that opens the new LP ‘Don’t Let Go,’ expected the end of this month. Another great new sound is from Sucker For A Pretty Face, and I definitely want to hear more. On a reflective note, Catherine Campbell does a low key cover of Brian Wilson’s “In My Room.” Then Super 8 gets all hippy dippy with “Get on The Bus.” Is it related to the Who’s “Magic Bus”? Well, it’s a little more funky, that’s for sure! Alex Lehey is an great little catchy freebie, worthy of your attention. We close out with another new band, Scarlet Sometimes gives us some “Cold Blood” and its got a 60’s pop vibe I really enjoy. Keep it up!

I get a variety of different bands contributing to my inbox, and some are just too good to ignore. Firstly, a heads up on what I think will be a great album; The Airport 77s are set to release We Realize You Have A Choice on JEM Records, and the opening single simply rocks. Review coming soon, but this was too good a video to pass unpromoted. The Thirsty Curses do a puppet version of Natural Born Killers with a compelling melody. Ines South looks like she’s having fun here, and the song “Sun’s Son” is a fun single too. Another up-and-coming star is Madison Cunningham, her LP is out this week and she reminds me a little of Sheryl Crow. Finally, TAM is LA artist Tommy Mai, and he gives us a cool “mental souvenir” with its late 1970s vibe.
