Drummer seeks other musical geniuses for Power pop band

Portland OR

Description

Elvis/Attractions, The Nerves, Buzzcocks, Real Kids, Exploding Hearts, the Boys, Paul Warren And Explorer, PCB, the Records, FOW, 20/20, Rockpile, Brinsley Schwartz, Flamin' Groovies. In a fantasy world, we could get to the godhead lyrical beauty of Badfinger, Raspberries, Kinks, Big Star, Matthew Sweet, Sloan, Squeeze, etc. but maybe a good place to start is with the emphasis on edgy punk, Stiff records-era energy and crunchy guitars (vs. jangly guitars - not so much). Dreamy vox as talent and old smoker's lungs allow.
