Retro flavored power pop a la early Beatles, Turtles, Yardbirds, Raiders, Raspberries. Great stuff, vocal harmonies reign and upbeat fun rhythms. Piano and keys here and there. Surprisingly no 12 string Rickenbacker guitars but that might be what keeps this from not being straight 60's retro. More like Tommy James and the Shondelles. Most songs clock in under 2-3 minutes for rip roaring fun party music. All clean, squeaky clean like john paul george and ringo.
1) (1:27) mid paced, classic power pop w 60's flare. 2) (2:17) bounce beat 3) (2:57)* hit quality with near Beatles harmonies and melodic hooks 4) (2:33) bounce swingy, midpaced 5) (2:33) unplugged! Acoustic guitars very Beatles now. 6)* (1:18) fast paced driving almost punk, great chorus hook "ur moving on I'm staying the same" 7) (3:03) full on 60's cheese love song with Wurlitzer piano, fake ending! Fake fade out comes back. 8) (1:46) 12 bar boogie woogie with barroom piano 9) (1:43) minor toned mid paced lovelorn 10) (2:00) upbeat driving rockin 11) (3:06) slow big 12 bar swing, smarmy 12)* (2:11) another upbeat hip shakin' bouncy winner 13) (2:09) mid head nodder 12 bar form with nice bass lead 14)* (2:54) feedback intro to a huge bouncing Stepping Stone tone
