Autoliner - Life On Mars (PAR-CD-052)
CD $10.00
This trio featuring Sugarbuzz’s Brian Leach partakes in spot-on three
part harmonies, some of Sweet’s singalong 70s AM Radio magic, super-orchestrated
80s new wave (be it of British or American manufacture), the same era’s
penchant for sci-fi-power pop brilliance, and the merest hint of scooter-mod
and paisley psychedelia. |
 |
Doleful
Lions - The
Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here! (PAR-CD-051)

The smiles, vibes and harmony of the "Motel Swim" debut meet serial

 |
Wolfie - Where's
Wolfie (PAR-CD-048)
CD OUT OF PRINT
"There's something ingenious about Wolfie's simplistic take on indie-pop.
With precociously sweet male/female vocals, jaunty organ melodies…the band…mines
a number of classic pop influences..."-CMJ New Music Report |

Boot Camp - As You Were (PAR-CD-046)
