The Shame Idols - rocket cat

A lot of power-pop records were released in the nineties, but not many manage to emphasize the "pop" end of that formula as well as Rocket Cat does -- on this record, the Shame Idols take their big rock sound and pack it with so many bouncy 60s-pop constructions and sing-song hooks that one can't help but love it. It's as if your average power-pop band is covering tracks by the Monkees -- even the group's biggest turns toward conventionally punky modernity ("Endora") just wind up sounding like particularly good Weezer tunes. All of which makes for an incredibly appealing record for everyone who's ever loved big, crunchy pop.

Bangles - first EP

Algunos pensarán que me he vuelto loco, pero las bangles antes de toda esa morralla que hicieron molaban. Sí, molaban, y mucho. Sobre todo este primer EP, en el que sacan toda su vena garajera. Es todo un gustazo escuchar temas como "real world", en el que las tonalidades sonoras de sus voces son toda una delicia.

Sons & Daughters - this gift (2008)

Glasgow's Sons and Daughters don't follow the indie pop formula made famous by their counterparts (Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura). Adele Bethel, David Gow, Scott Paterson, and Ailidh Lennon, who formed the group in 2001, compose a roughcast folk-rock sound similar to the likes of Smog and Cat Power. Prior to getting together, Bethel (guitar) and Gow (drums) toured and recorded with the Zephyrs and Arab Strap. Paterson (guitar/bass) chiefed March of Dimes for a short time while Lennon (mandolin/bass) studied classical composition at a University nearby. In 2002, Sons and Daughters self-released The Lovers EP. Love the Cup, an intriguing homage to Johnny Cash, followed a year later. In 2005, Sons and Daughters issued their studio full-length, The Repulsion Box. With the help of producer Bernard Butler, the band released their most fully-realised album to date in 2008, This Gift.
