The Heats may be the best power pop band that most power pop fans have never heard. They peaked between the 1970s wave of AM radio pop and its 1980s underground echo, playing Seattle clubs and gaining regional college radio attention. Their lone LP, 1980's Have an Idea, was produced by Heart's Howard Leese and released on their managers' Albatross label to local fanfare but no national attention. It sold 15,000 copies and failed to garner the band a major label deal. The thirteen original songs, including a remake of the catchy single "I Don't Like Your Face," are filled with the influences of the Beatles, Big Star, Tom Petty, and Dwight Twilley, and the singing of guitarists Steve Pearson and Don Short borrows some fine harmonies from the Everly Brothers.

This Japanese reissue of the original album was produced from sources that are inferior to the original vinyl pressing (and thus to the original master tapes). The high end is missing, shaving off the keening edges of the voices, guitars, drums, and cymbals, and sounding as if this was played through a radio. Much of this material was reissued in better fidelity on 1998's Smoke, but this is the first CD to include the original album track "Questions Questions" and the correct album takes/edits of "Ordinary Girls," "I Don't Like Your Face" and "She Don't Mind." The four bonus songs, "Let's All Smoke," "Rivals," "Count on Me," and "In Your Town," are great additions to the original album tracks.

Hats off to Air Mail for having the taste to reissue this album, for digging up superb bonus material (particularly the Flamin' Groovies'-styled "Count on Me"), and for including the original front and back covers; it's a shame they couldn't come up with a better audio source. That said, it's a mark of just how good this album is that even in lesser fidelity, the music's chiming charms still shine. [©2010 hyperbolium dot com]

13  Monkey Say    
14  99 Girls    
15  She Won't Budge    
16  Green Green  
Another aural treat from Seattle's most under-rated band. While not as all-out excellent as their debut album, "Low Beat Time" is still a good record if a bit of a grab-bag. The Fellows have aged gracefully, but they can still rock (evidenced on "Mr. Anthony's Last," "She Won't Budge," and others), and their unique wit is still evident ("She Won't Budge," "Snow White," "Green Green, and more). There are a few oddballs ("The Crafty Clerk" is a weird instrumental featuring trombone and flute), and the sound varies from song to song ("She Won't Budge" and "99 Girls" are ragged rockers, "Faultless" is a melancholy ballad, not to mention the aforementioned "Crafty Clerk"), but overall it's a good disc.

"The Shivvers played classic power pop for all it was worth and should have been huge. What is so impressive is the high quality of each and every one of their songs, and Jill Kossoris gets each one across with sassiness and verve. Top-drawer." -John M. Borack- Amplifier Magazine 2006

Credit the recording skills of Steve Albini for the lean, dirty funk sound which distinguishes Sport Fishin' from prior Shadowy Men records. While the tempos remain spry and the dominant guitar sound is still built on vibrato, the all-instrumental songs owe more to Link Wray than to Dick Dale this time out; indeed, they even declare "We're Not a Fucking Surf Band" on one of the tracks.

In FLAC - Scans are included

Lead by singer/songwriter John Felice, the Real Kids exploded onto the club scene playing long-forgotten tunes from the '50s by the likes of Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly. As well as Felice's dazzling, punky originals such as "Solid Gold (Thru and Thru)", "Taxi Boys", "Just Like Darts" and the classic anthem "All Kindsa Girls". All of these tunes were captured on their self-titled debut release for Marty Thau's Red Star Records in 1978. "The Real Kids" remains one of the best debut albums in the history of rock'n'roll. In 1999 the original line-ip reunited to record this 4 tracks E.P.

Picks to hit, the female sung, "Ghost Pains," and "M'girl Left With You." - Lollipop Magazine

1. Gunpowder 2. Sugarfoot 3. I'm Broke 4. Big Booty Woman 5. Boogie 6. Master Sold My Baby 7. Get Yo Shit 8. Humpin' 9. Bobby Booshay 10. Please Pt.

Two Formed in Austin, TX, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears is an eight-piece, garage-soul ensemble featuring groove-laden guitars, penetrating brass and a fiery frontman who exudes power and attitude. Experiencing the raw energy of Black Joe's performances, accompanied by The Honeybears' masterful backing is the equivalent of a kick to the stomach. Their gut-shot style, felt in such songs as "Gunpowder", "Master Sold My Baby" and "I'm Broke", draws directly from their classic soul, R&B and blues influences. Inspiration from artists such as Otis Redding and The Bar-Kays, James Brown and Lightning Hopkins are clearly present in their songs and live shows, but Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears inject a full-tilt, unabashedly brash element to this old-school style.
Tell `Em What Your Name Is! was produced by Jim Eno of Spoon, and recorded, mostly live in the studio, in Austin, TX.

The PEZBAND wrote killer songs, had a tight playing and great vocals but never received real recognition. Should the blame be put on their Passport/Jem record label? It seems they got zero promotion and with theflood of groups in that 77-79 era got lost in the shuffle. This Japanese Cd reissue of their third lp, is a bit weaker than Laughing in The Dark (their best) and  Pezband (their first). I would recommend it though as a classic example of Power Pop. Plus the live stuff tacked on at the end shows what a killer live act they were.https://rapidshare.com/files/324696040/Pezband - Cover To Cover.rar

 12. The Last Time Around 

Dwight Twilley’s new studio album SOUNDTRACK is unique and perhaps the most powerful recording of Twilley’s career. Mr. Twilley signed on to write and produce the disc to accompany a film documentary about his life now in production. “Creating this album was a real challenge for me. Something I’ve never attempted. It’s completely autobiographical. For me these songs are like musical photographs of the people, places and events that tell my story.”

If you lost track of Dwight Twilley over the years since his mid-70s breakthroughs, Sincerely and Twilley Don't Mind, you're in luck, as his latest album is as richly enveloping and fully satisfying as you remember from thirty-five years ago. Those who kept up with the Oklahoman have been treated to new albums, live recordings and multiple volumes of unreleased material, but the pop mainstream long ago moved on from the magic he created with drummer/vocalist Phil Seymour and guitarist Bill Pitcock IV. With Seymour having passed away in 1993, and Pitcock having passed just as this new collection was being completed, this is likely to be the last album that retains the full measure of Twilley's `70s nostalgia.

10. The Day After The End of the Wolrd     
11. Opening Up 
Originally the idea for the Cute Lepers was that it was to be something equally influenced by first wave punk, mod-revival, power pop and a retarded reverence for Johnny Thunders.....oh yeah, with occasional hints of doo-wop. oldie Rock 'N' Roll and a load of female back-up vocals. After some footwork, a West coast tour and a few sold out singles, The Cute Lepers are releasing Can't Stand Modern Music, their first full length album. Lead by Steve E Nix of the seminal Seattle band, The Briefs, along with several other members of The Briefs, The Cute Lepers debut album combines the attitude of Punk Rock, the style of Mod and the polished sound of Pop.
