The Cleaners From Venus - Penny Novelettes (self-released UK 2021) $18
Martin Newell has been quite prolific these past few years, issuing a cache of CDs and download-only singles and EPs. Now comes “Penny Novelettes”, his latest offering under the Cleaners From Venus moniker. His music is like good old-fashioned “comfort food”. With every release you pretty much know exactly what to expect and what you’ll get – his instantly identifiable voice, his undeniable take on British life and his clever way with chord changes that have the ability to take a left turn during a song.
Loose Lips - Hung Up On Pop (Outtatunes Records 2021) $9
Loose Lips was formed in the thick of the Power Pop/New Wave era of the late 70’s by guitarists Richie Mayer and Jeff King. After early tentative combinations the band’s line up settled with drummer Gary Ritchie of the The Scam, an offshoot of the British band Badfinger, bassist Danny Welch, King on guitar and vocal and Mayer on guitar and lead vocals. Loose Lips created its own scene for the next two years with a wildly enthusiastic fan base, memorable shows, frequent radio play, and a number of cable and TV performances. Their legacy is one of pure, melodic, unapologetic Power Pop gems.
Richie Mayer - The Inn Of Temporary Happiness (Outtatunes Records 2021) $12
Joel Tyler Wall - Green Wave (Kool Kat Musik 2021) $14
Brinsley Schwarz - Last Orders! (Mega Dodo Records UK 2021) $14
At the dawn of the internet, Ian Gomm self‐released an album of previously unreleased and hard to find recordings by his old group Brinsley Schwarz called, appropriately enough, “Rarities”. Taking inspiration from this long out of print album, Mega Dodo Records asked Ian Gomm to dig deep into his archive to see what other gems he might have. “Last Orders!” is the result of his search. The album contains some of the earliest recordings that the band made for radio and television, outtakes, rehearsals, home recordings and much more. For many Brinsley Schwarz remain paragons of British pub rock and public interest in the band doesn’t ever seem to wane.
The Beat Rats - Have Mersey! (Kool Kat Musik 2013) $13
“Have Mersey” indeed! The follow up to their 2009 Kool Kat debut "A Cellar Full Of Rats!" arrived in 2013. Released in conjunction with Liverpool's Cavern Records, The Beat Rats returned with twelve more catchy, tongue-in-cheek-at-times, Merseybeat inspired pop nuggets. They take no prisoners and offer no apologies on their sophomore effort of 60's-inspired hook-filled gems that are guaranteed to have you dancing while you listen
