F inding a locally produced and recorded music CD that you'll actually want to listen to more than just once or twice is a pretty tall order... but Calamity Pop has done it with this release.
Put together by renaissance man Paul Russell who credits the Sex Pistols and the Clash for inspiring him to learn guitar, Pop Friction is at times lively and other time melancholy, taking you back to the days before every wannabe musician had a synthesizer on his Imac. Perfect for parties or chilling around the house, you can pick up the free bonus track at their website. www.calamitypop.com |
