Best of 2025

Majority of the list is focused on powerpop albums. Hope you find a gem from my list.

  1. Caper Clowns

    Probably Danish band’s most polished release which is their fourth one. If you love jangly guitars and layered harmonies you will definitely enjoy this one. RIYL Split Enz

  2. Dom Mariani

    One of the most prolific songwriters whose music goes back to late 80’s; he has fronted The Stems, DM3 and Datura4 in addition to his solo releases. This is for those of you who like classic jangle-pop/power pop and refined songwriting and tasteful guitar work.

  3. The Len Price 3

    Harkening back to the sound of the mid 60’s this British bands songs are so quirky and catchy. What’s not to like?

  4. Armchair Oracles

    Masters of power pop this band transitions to more of a prog oriented sound.This album pushes them into a deeper, more adventurous territory which might disappoint those fans expecting more sunny power pop but not me.

  5. The Grip Weeds

    One of the strongest albums to date from The Grip Weeds this album blends their trademark jangling psychedelia with harder -edged rock. RIYL the Byrds, Moody Blues and Rickenbacker guitar.

  6. Bird Streets

    I have eagerly anticipated this new release and no disappointment! My favorite track is Mistaker. RIYL Jason Falkner’s music.
