The Modulators "Tomorrow's Coming" Review

I've got to say, for a band I'd never heard of before from the 80's, this was a fine piece of Powerpop. Great melodies and harmonies. But I will warn you. The "official" Itunes release of this is a vinyl transfer. One in which they did not even care enough to take the time to remove the "pops" out of the album! I mean come on. I understand if there's no master tapes and you've GOT to do a vinyl transfer, but at least put a little effort into it. To pay for an album, then realize YOU are the one who is going to have to do post production on it to make it listenable, in a word, sucks.

SIDE1) TOMORROW'S COMING - JIMMY SAYS - SPIN ME AROUND - LIES - MY BACK PAGES b/w SIDE 2) RAINY DAY GIRL - IF YOU LET HER GO -OWN LITTLE WORLD - LOST WITHOUT A SOUND

I've set up my own Band Camp page where in addition to the last CD being available I will be uploading demos and more recent material not on the last CD. Check it out if you get a chance.

DangerMaker "Black Dreams"

It's with pleasure I recommend to you the new Indie release from DangerMaker. "Black Dream" fits in nicely with anyone's power pop collection. While probably not technically 'powerpop', the melodies and instrumentation sometimes remind you of the feel of 60's pop. This is not a retro group, however, by any means. A modern rock foundation with pop sensibilities.

The instrumentation is intriguing. It pulls you in and keeps you listening. There is a cohesive sound, yet the sound is not redundant. This is an album I can listen to from start to finish without skipping a track. My only complaint is that it ended too soon......

The release date is in just a few days, go by and preorder yours now!

Visit the band's Band Camp page and pick this one up! PowerPopulation recommends!

Hot Dates (Repost)

Very rare independent release by the Boston group Hot Dates. Their only LP release. Powerpop to the max! Some great stuff here and it took quite some time to track down! Ended up having to pay more than I wanted to on ebay to grab this one!

Sunset Bombers (REPOST/NEW LINK)

I had previously posted my 192kps rip of this on the blog, so I decided to repost this in 320kps quality. I had tracked down my own copy via a friend of mine who used to work in radio with me because the only other rip of this on the net was severely lacking in quality and was a very thin rip with no dynamic response. So for rock history purposes here it is in 320kps with a great sound!
