James and company solidify and refine their pop Capitalizing on the success of the previous year's pop-oriented I Think We're Alone Now , Tommy James and the Shondells paired again with producers Bo Gentry and Richie Cordell to cut their second album of 1967. The album cover depicts the group in a field of blossoms, but that's as close to flower-power that the Shondells came on this album. There are production touches of the era, including the tight segue between the first two tracks, the feedback, fades and false [...]
Rock singles-band transitions to studio pop Tommy James and The Shondells kicked around their Michigan stomping grounds for several years before finding regional success in 1963 with a cover of Barry & Greenwich's "Hanky Panky." By the time the single was rediscovered two years later by a Pittsburgh radio station, the original Shondells had gone their separate ways. James recruited a band to be the new Shondells, and in 1966 toured behind the single, cut a deal with Roulette Records and turned their flop into a chart-topping hit. Line-up changes ensued and the band [...]

Erik Hassle's single "Hurtful" is now out for sale in the UK, so he is doing the promo rounds. This is taken from the Jo Whiley show and it shows his prowess in covering tracks. The beginning of the sound songs like "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra which is a cute touch. Click below to listen. Filed under: Beats , Clip , Scandi Tagged: album , cover , download , erik , [...]
The song is really not that cute at all for her. She could do so much better and she should have big uptempo number for the first single. it sounds even worse than "Take A Bow." She looks ferocious in the video, but that doesn't mean she should be release this lackluster number. Rated R better have some pumpin' tunes.

Not exactly the type of song we were anticipating to be the opener of Rihanna's comeback album. Especially after all the drama. She should came out with a big perseverance number a la "I Will Survive." It's actually kind of annoying with it's repetition and her voice. Still, we are sure Rated R has bigger and better numbers.

Can you imagine how great it would be if Ladyhawke hooked up Girl Aloud producers Xenomania? It would be "Psycho Thrills" great, I reckon.
Cicada is releasing a new album Roulette in May!! They came to exist originally as the remix and production duo of Alex Payne and Aaron Gilbert, and in no time released a series of acclaimed remixes of artists as diverse as Depeche Mode, New Order, Electric Six, and even our favorites The Enemy. They soon started working on their own material and after a series of singles released their debut album through Payne's own indie label Critical Mass. They glossed up their sound soon after with the [...]
Until last week, I'd never heard of this album. Ian sent it to me. Maybe he was trying to inspire me to rewrite my list of ten albums he turned me onto, because this one definitely would make that list. I've listened to it a half-dozen times in the last week. It's that good. Mike Prete from Progweed writes, "Comprised of what was then the band Uriel, Arzachel contained some of the earliest protagonists of the prog world using faux names as to not violate their existing contract. What we have here is one of the earliest recordings [...]
