Power Pop Shakers! New Releases/Reissues #24 (Nick Lowe, Rain Parade, Chine School, Saints & more)
This is the 24th 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 one-stop shop to discover new power pop bands.
