US Power Pop: Three Hour Tour - Looking For Tomorrow (2010 Martian)
THT is a band from Illinois with some illustrious names from the pop/power pop scene. There are Darren Cooper, who leads the band, and pop heavyweights like Adam Schmitt, John Richardson, Paul Chastain, Brad Elvis, Ric Menck to name a few. The band played Beatles influenced US Power Pop, but also knocked rhythms reminiscent of PeteTownshend out of the strings. Further influences were certainly the colleagues of Cotton Mather or the Smithereens. Personally, I like the album above all because of the sixties reminiscences. ''Looking For Tomorrow'' would surely have been well suited to the Small Faces as well.
The album offers a very good song selection and doesn't get boring while listening through. And especially in Power Pop it's often not easy to record an album that doesn't get lost in formulaic songs. A really good power pop rock album. and i recommend it in case you like GOOD power pop ;-) .Enjoy.(Frank)
