EDIT: Would have added a ton of Material Issue, but for some reason all of the YouToob vids of MI have horrible ads at the beginning. Gah!

My friend Alex loves power pop so much he formed a band! I played bass! Though, it came out more post-power pop.

YES. There's a particular Superdrag album that is sorely underrated. So much so that they don't have official videos. Pretty much broke at this point:

YES!!!! I think we've discussed this 'un elsewhere Starcastic, but In The Valley of Dying Stars is one of my all-time Top Ten albums. And I hate making Top Ten lists. But that one's been constant for years now.

FUCK YES THIS BAND
Guitar Romantic is the one album that hasn't left my car's 6-CD changer since I got my car like four years ago. It's my go-to album if I wanna sing all the words to something at the top of my lungs.
