Notes
There are artists and records that should deserve more airplay, but it's unbelievable like, in the internet age when you can easily find almost anything, sometimes it is hard to get together info about them.
This is the event of the first, and the only, album by the Crash Moderns. They play a fresh and catchy power pop that draws inspiration from the best of this genre, but they never yield to trite plagiarisms.
The band's major reference points are The Cars and Cheap Trick for the classic side of their sound, while Butch Walker and his Marvelous 3 are their muse for the modern side.
The singer Danny Roselle is also the main songwriter and his talent is undeniable: not only one moment of yielding in these eleven tracks even if, maybe, the shortness of the album is helpful.
"Pimp My Life", of which you may see a video, has had its fifteen minutes of fame as soundtrack of the blockbuster movie "The Rocker"'s trailer.
Nowadays, the Crash Moderns keep on playing live, also with bands as Bowling For Soup, The Ataris and Lifehouse. And we keep on waiting for the release of the new album, of which we had the chance to listen to a preview a few months ago with their EP "In Case You're Listening".
