Featured Album: THE WHIFFS - 'Scratch 'N' Sniff

The summer of 2023 is around the corner and Kansas City power poppers The Whiffs have just released the soundtrack. The band’s second full-length ‘Scratch ‘N’ Sniff‘ offers the perfect vibe for all of your warm-weather pursuits. Over 13 tracks, The Whiffs sip from a sweet cocktail of classic power pop like the Raspberries, Big Star, and Shoes, and spit it all out with a Tim-era Replacements…

3/3/23.

DIG! Records (Virginia) is releasing the new LP from Kansas City, Missouri band The Whiffs. This has a definite retro feel - think of the power-pop of early Joe Jackson. But it is also firmly planted in modern day power pop in the vein of Gentleman Jesse, Uni Boys, The Peawees or Jiffy Marx. And don't forget that amazing Titan Records boxset from Numero Group.

Honestly, the list could go on and on. It's interesting to go back into the archives of this blog and see just how much power pop has been posted.

Powerpop Party

Fr., 10.5.2024, 20:00 Uhr: THE WHIFFS (US) + THE PISSED ONES (DE) + ALVILDA (FR) + COEUR A L'INDEX (BE) – Hafenklang, Hamburg

THE WHIFFS

The Whiffs are a band from Kansas City, Missouri. "…one of the most accomplished examples of the genre I've heard in some time"

THE PISSED ONES

Die Basis des Sounds ist eine schnörkellos, aber massiv gezimmerte Rhythmusgruppe, die genau macht, was sie soll, um ein stabiles Fundament für eine Gitarrenwand zu bieten, die sich irgendwo zwischen AC/DC und STATUS QUO in deinen Kortex fräst.

ALVILDA

Oh man, here's a band you're all gonna flip over! Alvilda is Nina, Mélanie, Eva, and Sandra. This foursome out of Paris has just released its debut EP on the venerable Alien Snatch Records. Négatif features four tracks of classic style power pop with '60s pop and girl group influences. I love the perfect simplicity of this release: each song is a one-word title and clocks in somewhere between two and two-and-half minutes. From the melodies to the harmonies to the hooks to the energy of the music, this EP delivers everything you could want from power pop. Even if you don't know a single word of French, Négatif is sure to have you dancing around the house and humming along in no time flat. Pop music doesn't get much catchier than this! For its first 7" release in a few years, Alien Snatch sure picked a good one. Snag a copy while you still can! (Faster and Louder, August 2021)

COEUR A L'INDEX

Rock trio from Brussels and Marseille led by Julia Stravato.

this is how tbob went i think

[shorlinesorrows]

Give me a Percy Jackson who hates swim team. Who went to a public pool for swim lessons once when he was five and started to sob the second his skin hit the water

give me a Percy Jackson who is always just the slightest bit unsettled at pools because water is never meant to have the life sucked out of it and be divided into lanes or put in boxes in the ground

Water isn’t meant to be contained.

a percy jackson whose skin feels like it’s slowly beginning to burn when he tries to swim in chlorinated water, who hates any set swim stroke with a passion and can’t stick to one for the life of him

who doesn’t understand why you’d want to keep only to the surface of the water, when being cradled under the surface is everything

because swimming is supposed to be like the tides, maybe patterned, but never identical, it’s supposed to be flowing with the world around you as you please

Give me a Percy Jackson who loves the sheer nature of water so much that he can’t help but quietly despise our “pools” and their dead water with their constricted sides and restrictions on what it means to change with the world around you

A Percy Jackson who is the child of water in its most natural state, and who can hardly bear to see the way society has attempted to contain it and sterilize it and strip away its power

He hates swim team, but that’s only the half of it

my finished thing for the gigaphone! had so much fun taking part <:^)!

[lomlompurim]

Life is awfully hard rn so I made some serotonin for myself, mom omega Binghe I love you so much

[treeprince]

never let it be said that shen yuan doesnt fight for his man with bloody teeth

he started off already risking being sent back to his dead body to protect baby binghe the best he could on his first meeting and then continued to do so once the ooc shackles came off, made sure he felt loved and safe and at home on cqm, gave him every advantage he could think of (and then wondered why binghe got out of the abyss 2 yrs early, honey...), but bc those scum villain blinders were on so tight, he doesnt accept that he (the man shen yuan inside the character shen qingqiu) can change his own path enough to not be killed, and plans his own death accordingly bc he wont ever fight against binghe again if he can help it, i just...

this man loves binghe so much that he couldnt even conceive of a world in which binghe loves him back - and thats not just the comphet olympics in his brain talking, sy genuinely believes he's unlovable and only maybe sort of likeable by his fellow peak lords, and part of that comes from being forced into a scum villains role and not knowing the bigger picture behind sqq's actions (not even touching on how sy barely saw the entire cast of pidw as people until binghe actually looked hurt to him), but the rest was already preprogrammed before he transmigrated, and i want to know who hurt him so bad - bc all sy could imagine is that the whole world should love binghe, bc thats howmuch sy loves him the story is supposed to go, but all he could imagine for himself was gratitude at best and his demise at worst, until the very moment that it becomes clear that lbh has done everything, fucking EVERYTHING, to get sqq to love him back and i just SCREAMS

i cant imagine that sy would just let binghe go if he should ever decide to love someone else, the possession goes both ways with these two, and sy would fight tooth and nail to keep binghe for himself
