It is a short, shouty garage number that has me questioning myself asking have The Wendy Darlings always been this loud? I will reserve judgement for when the album is released but in the meantime crank up that volume and press play. Facebook Continue reading The Wendy Darlings – Always Late

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
