Look, I really enjoy much of Culture11. Good articles, eccentric point of view. But their article "Pins On A Map: Tulsa" by Gary Lee is the kind of puffery that would not be out of place in any given issue of such outlets of Babbittry as Urban Tulsa, the Tulsa World, or propaganda mailers from the Mayor's Office. The notion of pushing Tulsa as the arts capital of, um, anything is just too
By: Rinjo Njori From the start, Now or Heaven, makes an effort, conscious or unconscious, to distance itself from I Can't Go On I'll Go On, their hook filled debut. They felt like a band on the rise and Ross Flournoy's vocals and keyboards have literally become the sound of The Broken West. Effectively, he guides the sound of the band away from power pop simplicity and toward mood-filled
What do we have here? Two bands, two albums, one package. Well yes, and no. While the bands have different names, and very different styles, South San Gabriel is the Centro-matic quartet with a few more musicians, and both are the brainchild of Will Johnson. Over the last ten years, Johnson has brought us [...]
I've always loved this song even if Dwight Twilley was probably the poor man's Cheap Trick with many more misses than he ever had hits. Even though this is more properly categorized as power pop, I...
( Editor's Note : This is the final part of a three-part series on power pop. To read the series from the beginning, please go here .) by Rick Rockwell If ever there was a musical form that engenders argument, it is power pop. Often bands that belong to the genre get tagged with other musical categorizations, sometimes to their detriment. Some bands that merely play pop add in one bristling guitar...

I've been going through a little personal dB's renaissance over the past few weeks having picked up copies of the first 2 LPs Stands for Decibels & Repercussions and also the early rarities and outtakes collection "Ride The Wild Tom-Tom"....
Proud members of the power-pop fraternity populated by Dwight Twilley, Big Star, and the like, The Genuine Fakes convincingly transforms the steely Beyoncé ballad into something that wouldn't sound out of place on a Fountains of Wayne album.
So, I lied… this is Power Pop at its very best. Back in the day, Power Pop and punk rock cohabited peacefully on the scene and on stages. There were no better purveyors of pure pop for LA people (thanks to Nick Lowe for that turn of phrase, by the way, which I have appropriated and customized for this entry) than the Oklahoma transplants Steve Allen and Ron Flynt . These guys were cross-town high school...
I get a new turntable and dust off some old records. Vinyl Tap #42: The crossbred sonics of power pop meisters Dwight Twilley Band ’s Beatlesque infectiousness and Sun Sounds rockabilly reverb was no accident. The story behind the group’s beginnings was that Oklahoma natives and group leaders Dwight Twilley and the late Phil Seymour met in 1967 at a showing of A Hard Day's Day's Night , after which...
