After hearing this perfected piece of ear candy, you’ll wonder why Bob Burger isn’t a big star.

Committee of Vultures’ ‘Everybody Wants the Blues’ is the sound of musicians enjoying each other and their roots, delivering stellar performances.

Sounding like a long-lost Big Star gem, the Successful Failures’ “This Girl” has all the essential markings of a summer hit single.

Out of print for years, the Grip Weeds’ ‘Giant On the Beach’ has been resurrected with a generous dosage of new goodies.

Released 30 years ago this month, the Smithereens’ ’11’ is defined by haystacks of penetrating hooks and in-the-pocket musicianship.

The Successful Failures are still at the height of their game – a huge compliment, considering how intoxicating they already were.

Rather than deliver these selections note for note, the Doughboys soak them in their own special sauce.

Featuring calm and quiet vocals, Joe Merklee’s new EP ‘July’ exudes a deceptive strength, with delicate melodies that really sneak up on you.

It’s obvious Damfino had a ton of fun in the studio, and their enthusiasm spills right out of the speakers.

Juggling power-pop instincts with roots rock influences, the Successful Failures produce a sound that exercises both the body and the brain cells.
