Modcast #537: Turn It Up with The Decibels

This week I'm joined by veteran rockers Dean and Brent Seavers of The Decibels, one of the best mod friendly, power pop acts of the past thirty years (yes we're all that old, get used to it).

With five albums already under their belt they are back this year with a brand new release, When Red Lights Flash. And it rocks. It's got an accessibility to it that is familiar, but with enough newness to keep it fresh beginning to end. Songs like Enough, with it's very mod opening that lets you know right where you're at, and then takes you on a power pop ride that doesn't slow down until the last lick. The album is chock full gems like this, He Thinks He's Right, Today Is Your Day could have fallen off a Plimsouls or Knack album. And there's lots of echoes of the sixties like The Beatles, The Who and The Zombies. Nothing here will disappoint. Get on over to bandcamp and get yourself a copy.

Modcast #535: In Depth With Timothy Cameron

Here we go with a great convo with Timnothy Cameron, Canadian power poppin', singer, songwriter aka T.C. Folkpunk, aka Caremonoise. We get into it pretty deep podering things like can a band have home field advantage? What's it like to retool your own music? What TV show did Timothy audition for? And what movie was he actually cast in? Listen in and be sure to check out his music on Bandcamp. Speaking of which, if you're a fan of the music on this show you will definitely dig all of his albums.

His music is straight ahead power poppin rock and roll, sixties influenced with hints and echoes of power pop down through the ages. Songs like Here Crumbles The Bride, a great early rock and roll sounding, Kinksish sort of stomper. And Caution Tape, a very Whoish track with a definite early Pete Townshend feel to it. The last couple of years though Timothy has been recording and playing as Cameronoise, and interestingly he's taken many of his T.C. Folkpunk songs and retooled them with a full band, adding additional instrumentation and dropping the lyrics to make them all instrumentals. There's a bit of a mod jazz vibe to some, but others rock pretty hard. Described as "Booker T & The MGs meet The Smithereens in Paul McCartney's attic", and I have to say that is spot on.
