POWER POP! American Power Pop For The Now Generation 1977-81

Description

Soul Jazz Records presents Power Pop! American Power Pop for the Now Generation 1977-1981, a compilation that brings together a selection of punk, power pop and new wave tracks from American bands. These songs, released in the late 1970s and early 1980s, mostly come from small independent labels. Driven by the raw energy of punk and new wave, these artists also draw on the pop heritage of the 1960s and 1970s, with catchy and immediate melodies. Most of the tracks were originally released in very limited editions, often self-produced, sometimes unique in the discography of these bands. Now extremely rare and sought after by collectors, these singles bear witness to a thriving but little-known underground scene. This compilation thus highlights true musical gems while retracing a fascinating micro-history of a genre long kept in the shadows, enriched with detailed notes and exclusive visuals.
