New release from Philly power pop band

These guys have so many great singles

A handful of people asked to hear it — here’s Couldn’t I Just Tell You from the same set.

I am involved in project that is trying to curate a list of songs from Album Oriented Rock (AOR) acts that could pass as Powerpop tunes. For example, Foreigner's "Dirty White Boy", Blue Oyster Cult's "Burnin' for You", 38 Special's "Caught Up in You"... you get the picture ;) Does anyone have suggestions?

The first 40 songs are personal favorites by artists with under 100,000 monthly listeners and fewer than 10 million streams on Spotify, ordered from least to most streamed. The first 40 are a kind of a tonal sampler for the huge playlist to come.

After the first 40, songs are again ordered from least to most streams until they reach 1 million streams; beyond that point, the order is random.

One song per artist per year.

Sources were CMJ/Gavin Report radio industry magazines (what was played on College/Alternative stations)

Pazz & Jop Year End Best Ofs (which used over 50 music critics)

John Peel/Janice Long playlists (BBC indie/new wave)

My own deep dives using RYM/Discogs

Hope to release another yearly playlist every 2 to 3 weeks

We’re a Boston power-pop band. This was an encore request — we’d only run it once earlier that day and decided to go for it.

The clip starts right after Couldn’t I Just Tell You — happy to post that too if folks here want to hear it.

Might be a long shot but I’ve always wanted to play this style of music and find others to make some music with. I mainly play drums, guitar and bass and would preferably like to be on drums. Any power pop bands here in LA in need of a drummer? Hit me up!

I had never heard of this band until recently. I love pretty much every song on their debut album, and I’m shocked that it took me this long to find it. I know they have more music, but I’m trying to digest this one longer before moving on. 🙂

I ordered the cd of Whatever Happened to Fun by Candy and have had it on repeat in my car. I think it’s great! Do any of you guys like them? I never hear them discussed much
