This is a neat little self produced gem that is only for sale at Kool Kat Musik and Unsigned Bands. Pure Beatlesque pop style is lovingly recreated by songwriters Tony Cox and Darren Finlan. With Rickenbacker strum and wistful harmonies, it will take you back to the “Rubber Soul” era. The catchy “Lonely Girl” sets the Merseybeat mood, and then add a bit of Herman’s Hermits meets Zombies on the lovely “Keep it Real.” It’s also not slavish imitation, but strikingly original songs done in that retro-style. Bits of old school psychedelic pop and folk style also come out on “Say The Word” not unlike the classic Turtles. The album closer “Here Comes Summer” is a dead on amazing Monkees-styled track played with garage-like abandon. The vocals are excellent and sun kissed melodies bear repeat listens. This CD-R was started in 2004, finally came out and thank goodness I found it, thanks to a heads up from powerpopaholic fan, Maurice. Go to the bands website to hear the several album tracks. It’s highly recommended to all classic power pop fans and especially Beatle fans.
