A truly spectacular, classic slab of pure, clean 'n
sweet power pop. Sounds like the Spongetones (think
"Beat Music"), The Romantics, Paul Collins' Beat,
Beat-Beatles like The Knickerbockers and sunny day beach
vibe making it all sound very American. The hooks are
unrelenting inside the hear-swelling, urgent melodies and
trumped up jangle.

Central Park Carousel - by the Fire Apes. This power pop
band's sophomore effort is on the Kool Kat Musik label -
which is a big clue regarding its appeal to pop fans! I
can't put my finger on who they sound like ... but
Beatles-inspired power pop tunes with chiming guitars - like
"All The Right Things," "Tell Me" and
"Let Me Know" - will please a very broad audience.
