A real treat for a powerpop fan like me! I could make all the usual comparisons, but I'll stick to just two: Jellyfish and The Beatles. There's a fairly equal mix of upbeat numbers and slower ones; for me it's the faster songs that stand out.
Whenever I hear 'What Can I Do' I find it impossible not to bounce in my seat in time to the music! That's one of my acid tests for music - if I feel the urge to dance to it, it gets my vote every time. My pick for top track has to be 'She Won't See Me', which is - to be completely frank - as catchy as f*ck. One of those peachy perfect powerpop songs that comes along every now and again.
Have a listen at their Myspace, and buy their albums (the other one is called 'You Must Be Kidding') at CD Baby, Not Lame, etc. Once again, there's a similar name out there - these powerpoppers from San Diego are not to be confused with an outfit called Big Kid Band who make music for kids to singalong to. Mind you, children might love singing along to this album - I do!
