Out to Lunch
Forget those other reviews(except the part about being a great summertime album) this cd is really good(no it's not their best-that would be Strength or Paraphenlia). This music is similar to 80's glam, however, it has much more depth, get it, get the rest of their ...

Brilliant
When I told Jeff Foskett that "Thru My Window" was the best Brian Wilson tribute ever, I hadn't yet heard "Tracy Hide". It's like listening to Brian's "Wonderful" after huffing ether. That's meant as a compliment, and this album is a complement to both Pet Sounds and ...

Sorry I didn't find this sooner
Okay, in 2010, it's probably not going to help these guys sell a CD 17 years old. But, I just found out about these guys! This CD is great listening. Maybe they sound like the Shoes, Adam Schmitt, or another melodic band in the vein of sweet singing, harmony guitar, ...

Hobo

Billy Bob Thornton

Big Deal Records, 2005

I'm a Hobo Too
As with his previous albums BBT is once again in fine form. I just can't get enough and I am already waiting for the next one. I do have to say that this is not his best album, but he still blows away all other musicians. If you are looking to buy your first BBT ...

Baby Lemonade

Big Deal Records, 1998

Fookin' tops!
Do yourself a favor and pick this up...these guys get better and better every record and this is easily one of the best things I heard last year. Pop/melodic/harmonious/thoughtful with BIG FUZZY GUITAR (at times) music for 2000 & beyond..a combo of everything that ...

Bubblegun

The Merrymakers

Big Deal Records, 1999

Swedish band unlikely messiahs of power-pop !
I must admit I discovered The Merrymakers by accident when scanning the web for info on the great Andy Sturmer.I was highly sceptical at first but upon first listen, I realised that Bubblegun was a pop gem! I never thought that there would be a band to replace ...

Big Deal Records, 1999

Fono where are you?
Ok, this CD was released in 1999. That's four years ago. The question I'm left asking is, Fono, where are you?! This CD is truely awesome. At the time of it's release, before I heard it, I thought they were just another band released to sell off the uprising of ...

Repeater

Splitsville

Big Deal Records, 1998

Baltimore trio deliver THE power pop album of 1998.
The 3rd full length from Greenberry Wood refugees Splitsville starts off just like their 1st two: with a blast of pure power pop adrenaline. As before, the power portion is tempered with their innate grasp of pop history, and hooks that might be more accurately ...

Theme Park

BMX Bandits

Big Deal Records, 1997

Charming, goofy Scottish indiepop
It would not be unfair to refer to the goofy, intermittently brilliant head Bandit, Duglas Stewart, as a Glaswegian Jonathan Richman... he's boyish, he's mopey, he has an irrepressible love for his music, and doesn't worry to much whether folks think it's too silly or ...

Splitsville

Big Deal Records, 1997

One of the greatest power pop releases of the nineties!
Splitsville is simply the greatest power pop band ever to come out of Baltimore. This is the finest release to date by these three incredible musicians ( and people ). Splitsville simply cannot be compared to other bands in their genre because they are so far above ...
