I'm A Sucker For A Power Pop Trio

Artist:Explone

Album:Dreamers

Track:St. Yesterday
Hello Explone! You are a tight, melodic little power pop trio from Seattle, and there is no such thing as too many power pop bands (or trios) in my book. I am looking forward to your as-yet-unrealeased album coming out this summer! It doesn't bother me at all that you remind me a bit of The Gin Blossoms, because, well, I like them too and I don't even think they are together anymore (oops yes they are!). Also, do I hear a pinch of Guided By Voices in you too? No problemo! Oh, and I like your sideburns, Lead Singer.

So nice - and, from their looks and sound, a wee bit more urbane than those Gin Blossoms.
hey mike! yes...i completely agree w/you...they are more nuanced than the Blossoms...but there was a wee bit of something that i heard that reminded me of them...
I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation with Explone but i just thought i'd say you hit the nail on the head with your description "you are a tight melodic little power pop trio"
And... hey Explone! She knows what she's talkin' about so ya better listen up!
well greg, come on in...I'd like to introduce you to Explone...hey guys, this is yummy. hey. hey. hey. he lives in sasasquatch, a very cold country in the country of canada. but he likes good music. you'll wanna know him.
It's Saskabush! The nickname for Saskatchewan. hahaha Saskquatch...Brilliant!
Aw Karen ya made my day warm up....here in Winterpeg. thanks you!
yummie, sweet like sugar!
don't get a cavity!
Look, I'm willing to forgive that the guy on the right looks a bit like Sting. The songwriter and lead singer for the Gin Blossoms committed suicide if I remember correctly, so their eventual dissolution can be forgiven. Like these guys!
