| | Greg Pope Popmonster CD Greg Pope Discography of CDs
"One of the more underrated power pop bands of the last several years has been Edmund's Crown, whose Regrets of a Company Man was one of my favorite releases of 2006. The man behind the Crown is Greg Pope, and he's out with his solo debut that not only continues the Edmund's Crown sound but expands upon it (and which sports pretty cool album art to boot). Popmonster is a true solo debut as well, with Pope writing, singing and playing all the instruments on each track.Freed to do his own thing, Pope lets loose a total of 16 tracks here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places, while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath", the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man.A real tour-de-force and with Halloween approaching, this Popmonster will be scaring its way up my year-end list."-AbsolutePowerpop.comPOPMONSTER: Greg PopeDrums, Guitars, Bass, Vocals, Noises performed by Greg Pope.Produced by Greg PopeMastered by Doug DiamondLyrics and more at: GREGPOPE.NET Greg Pope Popmonster Songs | 1. | Sky Burn Down |

Melanie Fiona's debut single, "Give It to Me Right," was a perfect 2009 pop-R&B recording. The single coupled a timeless classic (the Zombies' "Time of the Season") with roof-raising vocals and infectious pop hooks that stuck like peanut butter. Fiona's single was perfect, albeit a touch formulaic. Because of this, it's no surprise that a large chunk of her debut album, THE BRIDGE, is much of the same. Like any good 2009 pop-soul recording, the album offers influences from decades of soul music. Fiona, a Kanye West ...

Although Steve Vai and Joe Satriani get the lion's share of the credit for popularizing "instrumental guitar-driven rock" for metalheads in the late '80s, another gentleman was merrily shredding on the six-string around this same era (and issuing all-instrumental recordings, as well) -- Steve Morse. And despite a full-time gig as Ritchie Blackmore's ...

The truth is out there and 3 feet up is looking for it. The songs on "Rock and Flower" mostly deal with the process of finding truths that are hidden from us. Chris & Victoria Hardy have put together a disc that ranges from upbeat straight-ahead rock a la Steely Dan to infectious pop songs about big pharmaceutical companies to almost-Celtic drinking songs about triangle women not fitting in. "We did a few new things and some weird things on this CD" says Chris. "There are some unconventional drum parts, ...

One of Jamie's inspirations as a young boy was his grandmother who was a concert pianist. It was because of the many afternoons he sat on her knee, mesmerized while she played the piano that Jamie developed a passion for music and decided that his destiny was to follow in her footsteps. While he continued to study the piano, Jamie developed an interest in the saxophone which he picked up at the age of fourteen. His love for ...
