Modern power pop bands are in a bit of a pickle. Like any revivalists, if they copy their idols note-perfectly people will say they are nothing but pale imitators. However, if they try to do something unique and stray too far from the self-imposed boundaries of their chosen subgenre, they will be ridiculed and considered traitors. It is a fine line a band has to walk, and Myracle Brah walks it as well as anyone has since the Posies. They combine tuneful melodies, crunching power chords, and high, harmonized vocals with restrained modern production and post-Nirvana drive to reach a listenable compromise between the past and the present. Their fifth album, Treblemaker, is as good as anything they have done. The best songs, like the tough album opener "This Is Where We Belong," the bopping Cheap Trick-inspired "Think About You," the new wave-ish "Runaway," and the anthemic "Climbing on a Star," are on par with the best of the Posies or Fountains of Wayne. They are climbing the pop underground ladder quickly and with vigor. Andy Bopp has dropped any remaining vocal affectations; he sounds less like John Lennon and more like some guy singing his guts out. The guitars are alive and tough-sounding, the production clean but not sterile. The record packs a powerful pop punch. The members of Myracle Brah are not imitators and they are not traitors. This is just a very good pop band in the power pop tradition. Anyone who digs modern power pop needs to check this band out, and this record is a fine place to start. ~ Tim Sendra

Playing old-school twang with an up-to-date energy, California country-rock band Rancho Deluxe were formed in 2005 by songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Mark Adams and lead guitarist Jesse Jay Harris. Harris came by his interest in roots music naturally; his father is Greg Harris, a musician who recorded with Skip Battin, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, and the post-Gram Parsons Flying Burrito Brothers in the 1970s and '80s. Adams and Harris met in college and bonded over their shared interest in classic country and roots rock styles, and in time they began working up songs together. Rancho Deluxe released their self-titled debut album in 2006, with ...

There are countless musicians on the planet, all soaking up sounds from the ether. And though many are very, very good, rather fewer have that certain something which makes them special. It’s impossible to describe on paper, instead it has to be felt. So check out Tom Doughty – and the chances are that you too will hear something that makes scalps tingle…. “I was lucky to be around at a time when music was being liberated,” say Tom, “I was only seven, going on eight, when there was this explosion of tremendous stuff from every quarter. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds and others were literally electrifying, whilst on the acoustic front the likes of Davy Graham, John Renbourn, Bert Jansch, Martin Carthy, Nic Jones and Wizz Jones were doing absolutely astonishing things with the guitar. Then there were the great blues artists like Howlin’ Wolf, Big Bill Broonzy and John Lee Hooker, as well as troubadours like Woody Guthrie, Dave van Ronk and of course a young Bob Dylan. What they had in common was a tremendous love of music coupled with a willingness to challenge the rules and artificial boundaries. I wanted to learn from all of them, without ever falling into the trap of simply being a mimic….” By the time he was seventeen, Tom was an accomplished finger-style guitarist and mandolin player on his local folk club circuit, ready to take the next stride forward. But fate intervened when a motor-cycle accident resulted in a permanent spinal injury and extensive damage to his hands, which is just about every musicians worst nightmare: “It was a dark time, with the uncertainty about what I would be able to do on a guitar in the future being really difficult to deal with. What helped keep me going was the determination to find a way to play. It took a long time and a lot of false dawns – plus of course my career in Social work put things on hold, but in the last few years it’s all come together – and in a way that others seem to connect with.” As those others include guitar maestros Woody Mann, Bob Brozman and Debashish Bhattachryra it’s fair to say that Tom has a bit more than mere technical ability to show for his efforts. Using his own style of finger-picks and a glass/metal slide of his own design, Tom draws on the blues and other forms to create a distinctive and compelling soundscape that appeals across the spectrum. “I’ve always ...
