Power On on CD

If you're a diehard fan of all things indiepop, chances are you've heard of Helen Love! They (she) have been releasing records on a regular basis for nearly 30 years now, and has not disappointed us yet! If you count the three "Radio Hits" singles collections (which, really, you have to!), "Power On" is Helen Love's eighth album; and for anyone familiar with their sound, you'll be pleased to know that it hasn't changed one bit! But then again, when you have perfected the punky bubblegum-pop sound as Helen Love have, why change such a winning formula? On the off-chance you're new to the band, let me just say that they take the word "fun" very seriously! No songs about heartbreak or loss here - only subjects like puppy love, pop music, and summer good times! Imagine the first few Ramones albums, played with the intense playfulness of a K-popstar in an even mixture of pop-punk and twee-pop! Unless you're some dour spoilsport, there's really no reason not to dance around like mad to this record for half an hour! Oh, and I apologize for the overuse of the exclamation mark here, but when discussing the music of Helen Love, it's pretty much a requirement!!!!
