Album Notes

Excellent Arizona based power pop band arrive back on the scene with their follow-up to the excellent "Let`s Go" debut from a few years back and this one features the "should be a hit" "Domino Star" to drive them towards being better known to a much larger audience. Featuring a ridiculously high energy sound that has a broad commercial appeal beyond the `power pop` tag, Spitshine features clean, crisp melodies, long, tasty hooks, powerful rhythms and a bevy of catchy choruses. As a nice change of pace, the Chollas lead vocalist has an earthy, gravelly voice that is delightfully different than other pop voices (it works!) and all the songs take the listener thru the dynamic roller coaster of lightening verses and fully loaded choruses. Riff, happy hooks swallow the listener up whole and bouncy, alluring melodies glide effortlessly. Very Highly Recommended!

Though recorded only two years after the band first CD, Spitshine had a gutsy, more sophisticated approach not seen on Let's Go! The band sounds more mature and the songwriting shows it. Although the CD didn't lose its power pop roots, the music had a broader appeal.
Songs like Did You Hear? and How Bout You had a deeper more personnel affect, while One In A Million, Twister,
Pop Song and Brand New Start kept the power pop rock and roll coming. Spitshine is a perfect balance of rock and roll and power pop. In fact the Chollas may do it the best!
