Release Notes:

What A find...been trying to get this one in here
for months and finally succeeded and it is worth the
wait! Listen below because if you want something
just bit different in your power-pop diet but still
warmly familiar, The A-Sides will deliver the
treatment. Here`s what others are saying - we`re
certainly not the only ones falling over themselves
about "Hello, Hello":

"Combining the power mod riffs of the Kinks with the
airy sophistication of the Zombies and the pop
sensibilities of the Beach Boys, these well-crafted,
delightful songs are a breath of fresh air that will
have your toes tapping and your hands thumping on
the steering wheel!" - Crutch. "Appealing to the
record-collector and indie-kid sensibilities that
keep everyone from Marshall Crenshaw and Brian
Wilson to Big Star and The Apples in Stereo in
business, marching through a wonderland full of all
the typical psychedelic-pop touchstones!" -
Aversion. "It`s all here: the Beatles, the Beach
Boys, the Kinks, and a hint of Phil Spector - they
have created an album chock full of all the bright
melodies, psychedelic guitars, and lush vocal
harmonies!" - PopMatters. "They make music that
places them alongside bands like The Shins as groups
making innovative rock-pop that wouldve been right
at home in the 60s!" - Indieworkshop. "While the
A-Sides share the same triumvirate of muses as the
E6 collective, those being the Beatles, the Beach
Boys, and the Kinks, they eschew both the fierce
experimentation of Olivia Tremor Control and the
by-numbers traditionalism of lesser like bands in
favor of a more modern take on psych pop. While
moments throughout the album point to these and
myriad other influences, the A-Sides are nimble
enough to not get caught up in the netting, crafting
a solid, satisfying set of songs that blend brushes
of originality with instantly familiar melodies..
Though the A-sides are not the worlds most original
band, covering much of the same ground that
countless others have before, Hello Hello is another
welcome edition in a broad scope of good albums that
have for more than thirty years shown the
agelessness and inexhaustible possibilities of psych
pop."-ElevenElephants. One of the years` finest!
Extremely Highly Recommended!
