The Shazam: “Sunshine Tonight” (1999)
From a band with the balls to perform Live At Leeds in its entirety in concert…ladies and gentlemen this is what Power Pop should sound like. The Shazam combine the nastylicious riffs with the sweet-spot choruses better than most anyone in the genre. Fronted by a singer/guitarist/songwriter named Hans Rotenberry, the Shazam hail from…Nashville, of course!
It’s a shame to see them vying for status in the “Where Are They Now” file (their two best albums, Godspeed the Shazam and Tomorrow the World are currently out of print). Ah, well–the good stuff’s supposed to be rare. That’s what makes collecting it fun.
