I have a large number of 7″ single in my collection that date from the new wave/power pop era from the late 1970’s to the early 1980’s. Why do I mention that? Well it’s because the new two tracks from Ontario based Charm would not sound out of place if played alongside any of those records. Powerful fast paced, guitar laden and female fronted power pop with erm, plenty of charm! Continue reading Charm – U Don’t Talk b/w Lie To Me
Enids hail from København and make punk inspired diy tweepop. There are four songs on this EP and none make the 2 minute mark being brash, fuzzy and noisy. Now that’s the type of music I love!
