The Soda Pop Kids - Teen Bop Dream
MP3 of Terrestrial Twist
Teen Bop Dream?! Yeah no shit, The Soda Pop Kids thrilled and surprised my hungover self on this sunny summer afternoon. BANG BANG BABY, and hey turn up the stereo, I can’t quite figure out why I’m boppin’ my head and singing along to the melodies on The Soda Pop Kids’ soon-to-be released album, Teen Bop Dream. I can say with no bullshit that Teen Bop Dream is now one of my favorite local releases for 2007.
The Soda Pop Kids are
- Jonny P.
- Tony
- Alan
- Diet D
- Zachariah Brookswith
First-thing-first, Teen Bop Dream has been masterfully brought to life by producer Pat Kearns – of Blue Skies for Black Hearts fame. This is the first full-length album I’ve heard that was recorded at Pat’s new NW Portland studio, and now we’re hoping Pat hooks up with more local bands because we love the sound he’s crafted.
The primal punk affections of The Soda Pop Kids have been captured and mixed with 60s bubblegum Pop, scorching guitar riffs with bluesy rhythms and textured, call-and-response vocals. Imaginative and creative songwriting help The Soda Pop Kids escape the malaise of formulaic punk fare and instead they dish up songs about love at the arcade, alien abduction, gun-packing senoritas, and a boy leaving a girl.
