There is a lot of good power pop coming out of the United States these days: Joe Cusumaro, Strange Passage and now Samuel S.C. A five piece from Virginia, just outside the country’s capital. Like so many bands in the genre it’s really about a few songs that really stand out for me. But that wasn’t a problem when I fell in love with Magnapop’s Merry decades ago (this reminds me a lot of that) and isn’t a problem on this very catchy Evergreen (from a split single with Florida’s POHGOH) either.
