07012016 - Peach Kelli Pop "Peach Kelli Pop III"

The stuff you find on other people's best of-lists... This one turned up at #36 on a friend's list, and it looked cute and inviting enough to make me interested. The album is short and sweet, oozing bubblegum fuzz pop with just the slightest hint of garage/surf rock and punk. I hear hints of old faves like The Primitives and The Darling Buds, but also The Ramones, Shonen Knife (although sole member Allie Hanlon is Canadian) and a million girl groups, from The Angels to The Pipettes. It's catchy, bouncy and it makes me smile. I can't wait to play this album again when summer comes!
