Year: 2005

Albums

David Grahame – Supergenious

December 30, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Updating the melodic ways of pop luminaries such as Paul McCartney and his staples, Emitt Rhodes and Pete Ham, as well as predating the craft of contemporary songsmiths as Brendan Benson or Bart Davenport, it’s […]

Albums

Frank Lee Sprague – Cavern

December 28, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Expectedly so, the Mersey-Texan Frank Lee Sprague, continues exactly where he’d left off with the previous album Merseybeat, all soaked up in the Star-Club/Cavern sweat. Doing note-perfect impersonations of songs that both Paul and John […]

45s

The Nederbietels – On My Mind

December 26, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Well, the band name and the cover of The Haigs’ freak (Dutch)beat classic tell it all really. With their third 7” vinyl release The Nederbietels firmly stick to the full-on pop artish mod outlook regalia, […]

Albums

Dee Rangers – Five Spanish Minutes

December 26, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Classic Swedish garage-beat revival in the vein of The Creeps, The Strollers or The Maharajas, recording sessions with Don Craine of the ‘Sect at Toe Rag, as well as an English member in the shape […]

Albums

Colin Hare – Like A River

December 24, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

With the brand new re-release of March Hare (see review elsewhere on these pages), this brand new solo album, as well the long awaited Honeybus’ Recital “re-release” scheduled sometime during the following year, 2005 seems […]

Albums

Smashing Time – Make Some Noise

December 24, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Having a band name and an album title like this, should be suggestive enough for any self esteemed MODernist, and if you’re among those who actually consider Mod a contemporary subculture, rooted in the sixties […]

Albums

Big Boss Man – Winner

December 23, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Re-Mixing Weller (and taking it to UK TOP 20 if I may add), denying Coca Cola’s request to use a track and sitting in with Country Joe’s Fish or The Action, all might be as […]

Albums

James Cooper – Second Season

December 22, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

This one came pretty much out of the blue, but it did get me just as sky-high. Some reviews might mislead you to believe that it’s just another one in the line of countless power-pop […]

Albums

Various Artists – Who Will Buy (These Wonderful Evils) Vol 1 & 2

December 21, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

Both released quite a while ago, but some of these “evils” are so frighteningly good, that I figured, if I manage to turn on at least another soul or two, my mission is complete. Featuring […]

Albums

Various Artists – 21st Century Liverpool Underground

December 20, 2005 Garwood Pickjon 0

… and Liverpool mainstream in the making if I may add. Featuring three bands that never really managed to make it as big as they deserved, and 18 songs recorded between 2000 and 2002, this […]
