about

Power-pop, jangle-pop, rock-n-roll, even some tear in your beer twang- The Buzz has got you covered with this stellar EP! Catchy and energetic, these five tunes feature hot licks, heavenly harmonies, powerful bass and rollicking drumming. Inspired by the original rock-n-roll masters without being retro.

Absolute Powerpop sayz:

"...it's time to put the top down and cruise the highway with this EP cranking. While "Smithereens" isn't a tribute to the band of the same name, it's a driving guitar pop number that would make them proud, "Tell Me Now" is fine garage rock, "Electric Dreams" jangles on, and "Old Souls" channels Brian Wilson with the surf out..."

The Quaker Goes Deaf opines:

"The 3rd release from this Washington D.C. band—5 songs of sweet rockin’ hook-filled power pop with a glam-punk punch of energetic melody mixed with jangly guitar chords and luscious vocal harmonies. “Summer of ‘17” will have you hoppin’, boppin’ and hummin’ to the beat with a glowing s.e.g. plastered on your face. Fun & Recommended."
