It is an extraordinarily fine time for Guitar Pop and Indie Rock presently as favourites return with new albums, it's just finding the time to tell you all about them that holds back joy. Nashville Trio, Sour Ops are first up to enhance your lugholes.
The band mix Indie Rock with Power Pop and Guitar Pop. A little rockier than those around them, songwriter Price Harrison's vocal helps make them so. His voice allows them to straddle genres meaning they are at ease in whatever direction they choose.
The riffs are heavier than you might expect, at times bordering on the rockier side of Indie Rock, yet also in touch with something more Classic. Power Pop with an edge and even an ability to mirror UK Glam Rock or sound like someone such as The Successful Failures, particularly on All That Matters Now with some ace Pedal Steel courtesy of Paul Niehaus.
The Power Of Right Now is Glam Rock played with a Power Pop beat. Opting Out opens up the album with a New Wave Synth Intro before moving at pace into something a little 80s Indie aided by an absolutely killer solo.
She's So Strange is melodic Indie Rock and adds a blistering Fuzz solo and No Winner Tonight borders Garage Rock and Punk. Fake Appeal is Noo Yawk sleaze. Sour Ops don't come up for air through all 10 songs, not that you'd ever want them to. Great Stuff!
You can listen to and buy the album here.
