Synopsis

Fun, bright, and playful, Power Pop is a sometimes adored, sometimes maligned, often misunderstood genre of music. From its heyday in the '70s and '80s to its resurgence in the '90s and '00s, Power Pop has meant many things to many people. In Go Further, editors Paul Myers and S. W. Lauden have a whole new crop of writers going deep on what certain Power Pop bands and songs mean and have meant to them. Whether they love or hate it, Go Further is a dive into the Beatles-inspired pop rock of the last five decades.

Power pop is marked by melodic, singable songs with great hooks, crunchy guitars, and lots of harmony, spinning out in a blissful 3-and-a-half minutes. Some of my faves of the genre include XTC, Fountains of Wayne,......more
