Carolina Liar: “Last Night” (2008)
It would be reasonable to assume the members of a band named ‘Carolina Liar’ would hail from one of the Carolinas. Turns out lead singer Chad Wolfe, from Charleston, SC is the only one. His three band mates are from Sweden.
Modern Rock radio embraced the band on the release of their 2008 debut, Coming to Terms, but their pop melodicism set them apart within that format.

Shoes: “The Summer Rain” (1982)
Once when asked why the Beatles chose their name, Paul McCartney answered, “for all you know, we might have been called the Shoes.”
This is that band. A new-wavy power pop band out of Zion, Illinois and one of the brave few who dropped kernels of power pop along the path leading into the late 70’s and early 80’s, bridging the gap from the Raspberries to the Knack.
Those of us who don’t really care to check the expiration date of a genre of music bought Shoes CDs. There weren’t enough of us, which is why you’ve probably never heard of them.
