This tribute gathers a host of bands/artists from around the world to pay tribute to one of the 1970s finest power pop bands.Some beautiful takes on the 2 Twilley albums "Sincerely and Twilley Don't Mind" and will be a nice addition to your collection of tributes.
Best Track : Michael Carpenter - Here She comes.
TURNAROUND ~ LET'S DO IT
Turnaround were a cool Australian power pop band circa 1982 that released only 4 singles in their short time together. Formed from the ashes of Beathoven/The Innocents when drummer Brent Jeffrey met up with friend Tony Voglino who both shared a passion for all things jangly and pop.
Zero Hour has uncovered a batch of rare unreleased demos, a live track and put their single releases together onto this fine compilation. 16 tracks of cool power pop + insert with a short story about the group.
POWER POP UNPLUGGED ~ VARIOUS ARTISTS

Graham Day and The Forefathers - Good Things
Graham Day, Allan Crockford and Wolf Howard have been blasting out their muscular version of “Medway garage-rock” in various combinations over a period of more than 30 years, releasing dozens of albums between them. Graham and Allan were in The Prisoners (1982-86), before forming The Prime Movers with Wolf in 1988, releasing three albums before they split in 1993. The trio was re-united in 1999 as The Solarflares, releasing another five albums until once again calling it a day in 2004.
The three re-united as a live band in 2013. The Forefathers formed around the idea that the time was right for rifling through the “Graham Day Songbook” and delivering a “best of...” set: stripped down live versions of the best of The Prisoners, The Prime Movers, The Solarflares and Graham's most recent band, The Gaolers. One might think that The Forefathers are essentially a “tribute act” – a tribute to themselves and their shared musical history. If that is true, they are the purest and best tribute act in existence – no one delivers a Graham Day song like Graham Day, Allan Crockford and Wolf Howard.
After a debut single on State Records, here’s the album. "Good Things" packs six Solarflares’ tunes, three from The Prisoners, two from The Gaolers and one from The Prime Movers. Recorded in the back room of a mate’s print shop, using a couple of old mics, the backing tracks were bashed out in one take, raw ’n’ alive.
The vinyl, in glorious MONO, comes with a CD and a digital download. All formats for just one purchase!

Dig It ! nous adresse le message suivant:
Bonjour
Et malheureusement, une mauvaise nouvelle.
Ceux qui connaissent l'univers des "download blogs" seront aussi attristés que nous d'apprendre la disparition de Patrick Véziand qui tenait le blog "Sons Of The Dolls" depuis des années. Nous l'avions interviewé pour le N°57 de Dig It ! Il est parti rejoindre ses idoles Johnny T. et Arthur "Killer" Kane.
Bon vent Patrick, et merci pour tout.
