Better known as Paul Starling, Brian Bringelson steps out with an album in the spirit of acts like the Beach Boys, Bread, the Smithereens and Matthew Sweet.

Ken Sharp’s latest album ‘Miniatures’ stands as a complete departure from the genre he is generally associated with among power-pop aficionados.

A self-composed piece of straight-up hard rock, Richard Turgeon’s “Parasite” is recited in a stadium-sized leer that firmly pushes the point home.

The Sails are quite the rage across the pond, and ‘Bang!: The Sails Best of 2006 to 2020’ provides the reason why.

An interesting collection of songs, ‘Orpheus’ smacks of poise and class, yet is balanced by enough curiosities to form a far-out feel.

Richard Turgeon’s unparalleled prowess for channeling classic-rock values really comes alive on this great song.

This homage to his heroes in Kiss also captures Ken Sharp’s own musical imagination in full force.

Flawless by any standards, ‘Picture This’ simply foreshadowed the mega-success that Huey Lewis and the News would experience.

With ‘Something Happening,’ Paul Revere and the Raiders aimed to discard their image as colonial-war costumed clowns and finally be taken seriously.

Ken Sharp kicks off 2021 with a song expressing the fear, anger and confusion we’ve all felt as COVID-19 wreaked havoc on our lives.
