Meditations On Self Destruction by Long Knife


Like Poison Idea playing Kiss Alive, the first song has the fastest cow bell ever. You should own this. No seriously, this deserves your money.


Peek After A Poke by Impo & The Tents


Pop-punk, power pop, new wave... They just rock, they're Swedish and this album will make you move.

Love What You Love by Zach Jones


Another great album from Zach Jones bringing us sun-drenched power pop and classic song writing. Over the course of his five albums he's gone from strength to strength and this'll be a perfect soundtrack to a summer's day.

Electric Candyland by Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents


Like the best Blondie album since Parallel Lines, this album just rips it up from start to finish. Jenny Dee (also of the amazing Dents amongst others) has the perfect voice for this R&B/punk pop mash up and there really is no other band doing this music as well as these guys are right now.


Headlines by Kris Rodgers & The Dirty Gems


Stumbled across this whilst I was buying the new(ish) Kurt Baker live album and I have to say it's excellent. Superb grown-up pop/power pop whatever you want to call it, it's a great selection of songs played by a band at the peak of it's game. Kris' vocals and keyboard skills are second to none and it's easy to see why he's involved with so many other fantastic projects.
Highly recommended.
