Also, for all the fans of Scottish pop, keep an eye out on the Last Night From Glasgow label. I'm a member, and around £100 gets you around 6-8 records a year. They do like their Scottish (power) pop. They reissued the Bluebells this year, and lots of Transhcan Sinatras stuff on the horizon...

Its too bad their site does not seem to want to tell how much the shipping is for membership because I would be willing to sign up.

I love power pop. Here's my spotify playlist. Gets lots of action when the weather's nice!

 

[wokeupnew]

Just because it'll need to be posted in here eventually and I may as well do it. But one of the greatest songs of all time, in my opinion

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

@espendo - do you know much about I Was a King? I know they're from your bit and have a Norman Blake connection, but other than watching one video I don't know much more.

They're great - one of the last concerts I saw, was at the local pub/restaurant just around the corner. I really like Anne Lise Frøkedal who plays guitar and sings for them. This is their last albim

Are Keane considered Power Pop?

Nah, there's no power in their pop

 

[Skalap]

I like Keane *baby yoda eyes*

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Velvet Crush are a real fave of mine, especially the first album

I like Keane *baby yoda eyes*

Yeah , sorry. Just went for the cheap punchline

 

[Nee Lewman]

No worries. Let me explain like this:

Two Scottish bands.

Teenage Fanclub would fit here.

Biffy Clyro would perhaps fit in the other you mention.

I think your second band is a Star Wars character.

 

[Skalap]

Yeah , sorry. Just went for the cheap punchline

Is this Power Pop then:



I can feel the power every time I play this song.

I'm not into orthodoxy. It fits one of the labels of this thread in some way or the other

 

[espendo]

Love The Lucksmiths, but have none of their records... Saw them in Oslo many summers and winters ago. Great stuff!

 

[espendo]

Velvet Crush are a real fave of mine, especially the first album

VC are also favorites of mine. My faves are Teenage Symphonies and Free Expression, but it's all good.

This may be my favorite song of them, actually, and that's from Heavy Changes.
