PUREPOP

Reviews of tasty and obscure hook-filled rock'n' roll releases (Glam, Power Pop, Pop/psych,Garage, Surf, 60s Girl Group and Protest/Folk Rock). Plus any quirky musings that tickle my fancy... I created this blog in order to stimulate interest, share discoveries and encourage people to go out and search for the original vinyl. Hopefully this blog might also encourage labels to actually compile some of this stuff officialy. Snippets are recorded from vinyl onto cassette!!! and into the PC...

New Release: The Blank Stares


The Blank Stares –All Blown Up – Full Tilt Records – FTCD- 002 (2006 US)

All Blown Up is a great fresh new release in a fine Power Pop/ Glam Rock mode. If you miss Redd Kross, well look no further as The Blank Stares remind you of the best tracks from Third Eye or Switchblade Sister –what??? You don’t have those –go out and buy them pronto! The album lifts off with a nice Bolanesque vocal and then throws itself at full tilt for the duration. It’s always loud and melodic, but doesn’t veer too far into Teen Machine territory. Nice one centurions, Turn Up The Sound and enjoy…
