- Power Pop Shakers! New Releases/Reissues #20 (Albert Hammond Jr, Guided By Voices, Exploding Hearts)
This is the 20th episode of 'Power Pop Shakers!', where I talk about power pop new releases and the odd reissue.
There is a thriving international power pop underground scene, which I aim to promote with this series of videos. As much as I love the classic power pop acts like Big Star, The Raspberries, Cheap Trick and The Flamin' Groovies, it's always great to discover new bands from around the world with their own unique take on the genre.
If you go to my channel, and click on 'Playlists', you'll find a playlist called 'Power Pop Shakers!', where you can listen to the music I'm talking about. The intention is to keep adding to the playlist, so that it becomes a useful one-stop shop to discover new power pop bands.

Hi Carl- great update, fan of The Chills, Stems and Exploding Hearts and like that new Lost Ships album. Will check out the rest and of course playlist. Cheers! Matt
Hi Matt. So many great new releases and reissues. The Exploding Hearts are the pick for me. Cheers, Carl
.......Amazing..., somebody mentioning the truly brilliant band the Chills, Submarine Bells should be in everyone's vinyl/cd collection....Martin Phillipps n Chills still releasing quality albums..
@@brianwoods2395 Hi Brian. I agree about 'Submarine Bells'. Have you seen Martin Phillipps live? I saw him pre-Covid.
Hi Carl - First off, I have to send a letter to TH-cam, because your video was up 8 days ago, and it never appeared in my feed! I've liked everything I have heard from The Chills. Lots on interesting sounding stuff that I am sure I will like. I will dig into the playlist. Congratulations on 20 quality episodes 🙂
I've managed to find another new Canadian band for this video - Taxi Girls, a three-piece from Montreal. Plus the latest album from Star Collector (Vancouver) ... Thanks for the congratulations! ... The Chills' reissue of 'Brave Words' with an extra disc should be a good one.
@@carltweed942 It's awesome that you are more up-to-date about Canadian music than I am 😀
These are great Power Pop Shaker cuts Carl. Where do you find these? Another great comprehensive look at groups I've never heard of. "Snotty Bubblegum Pop Vocals." That's great Carl, just great!
Hi Tarrtruck! New (and reissue) quality power pop releases were a bit thin on the ground earlier in the year. There is so much good stuff though at the moment ... I search for the stuff I like via various sources - Bandcamp, power pop blogs, websites that sell power pop, music magazine websites, power pop labels' websites and the odd radio show (such as El Sotano at rtve.es) ... As always thanks for your support and comments.
@@carltweed942 Always great stuff Carl. A real deep dive into the rare and unknown (at least for me). I'm definitely leaning a lot. Nice Job!
