Michael and Brian D’Addario aka The Lemon Twigs continue to impress with each new album, delving further into shimmering, explosive pop songs that evoke vintage power pop and rock.

Thomas Walsh (Pugwash)

It has been a while since I interviewed Thomas Walsh (way back in 2020) but I was lucky enough to chat with him after a show in person at the 11L-Radio NY International Studio in Brooklyn, NY. Many thanks to my “crew,” Dave “The Boogieman,” and Steven Korn for their assistance. We chat about the new album, The Rest Is History, plus The Duckworth Lewis Method, XTC, Jeff Lynne (ELO), and Joe Elliot (Def Leppard). It was great!

Power Popaholic Interview: Flying Underground

Flying Underground

Sometimes I find a band that I missed the year before, but it had a great album that made me take notice. Ohio-based Flying Underground is such a band. I speak to the main songwriter/guitarist, Brian Lovely, and the lead singer, Kelly McCracken. We talk about a few songs on the self-titled album and more. 🎸 Hear the album below:

February singles are here: Flying Underground, Late Cambrian, Extra Arms, Real Estate, Willie Dowling, François Premiers

I am still finding lots of great music that shouldn’t be swept under the rug because it’s a new year. Flying Underground is a terrific Cincinnati, Ohio band that deserves your attention with its debut album. The video above has really good sound and showcases Kelly McCracken’s great lead vocal. My friends, Late Cambrian have modified their sound on “Late Bloomer” to have a more melodic vibe, and I love it. Extra Arms is back with a bunch of strong riffs on its new single, “Gates of Steel.” The band Real Estate has a new album coming out, and what I hear so far is excellent songwriting. We still have a freebie for you with Willie Dowling‘s “The Simpleton,” a cool narrative of a protagonist, and dig that piano solo midway through! French band François Premiers has a glammy gem with the “Salamander Shuffle,” and that riff just sticks in your head. Great music continues!
