Chromeo! Chromeo! Wherefore art thou, Chromeo?

Hey! How about a new retro sounding slab of funkified rock and roll from the coolest club duo in the Great White North?

If you have never heard Chromeo, you will be surprised at just how well they capture a funky, danceable, 80s pop, 70s disco (yes, I used the D-word) vibe. And they make it work.

So, it's Saturday night, and if you're reading this that means you're not on a dance floor, but don't let that stop you.

Rock on!

Rock And Roll Remakes Wednesday #3

This week's remake was an easy call.

Critics of rock often make fun of those who think rock and roll can make a difference in the world.

Please do what you can and prove the critics wrong.

The Soft Pack Album Review

The Soft Pack formed in 2008 under a different name. They have a few recordings under their rock and roll belts, but The Soft Pack is their official full-length debut album.

Elements of 80s alternative and punk combine with surf guitars and garage rock. An upbeat sound permeates the tracks on the record. You may find it hard to sit still as the music starts to take control of your extremities.

The CD could just as easily fit into a college dorm as it could a party for fans of power pop or post-disco rock and roll.

"Answer To Yourself" is as good of an introduction to the band as any. You get the impression these are normal guys who know how to have fun. It picks up a bit of steam as it goes along with a nice punkish payoff towards the end. Enjoy the music, and go ahead and let yourself go as you listen.
