http://www.notlame.com/CDAFTERNOONS3.htmlTHE AFTERNOONS - Sweet Action2008 studio release! We’ve not heard from this UK power pop band since “Rocket Summer”hit these shores in 2005. From the UK, The Afternoons are going to woo the socks right off many, many Not Lamers because this is pitch-perfect classic power pop that, as a bonus, ads some cool modern touches that avoid clich and explode the pop power of the 12 songs here. Fans of Teenage Fanclub, The Pooh Sticks and The Shins do not miss this one! “The tunes are like a warm breeze blowing over you, disguising the slightly bittersweet lyrics. The Afternoons are the sort of band that would take a festival by storm if the weather is right (and by that I mean above 20 Celsius). There are endless adjectives that could be used to describe the album (pick any two of the following for yourself): `Shimmering`, `Beautiful`, `Sun soaked`, `Lush`, `Relaxing`, `Soaring choruses`. Personally I`d choose `caramelised melodies` and `luscious orchestral pop`." – RockCity. <p> "Whether massaging Belle and Sebastian`s melodicism or mimicking the sumptuous harmonies of Teenage Fanclub, The Afternoons are unshakably beautiful. Embrace them." - LOGO. One of the UK’s finest, best and most talented power pop bands. EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! <p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons302.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons302.mp3">Song #1</a> - mp3<p> <p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons303.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons303.mp3">Song #2</a> - mp3<p> <p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons307.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons307.mp3">Song #3</a> - mp3<p> <p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons309.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons309.mp3">Song #4</a> - mp3<p> <p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons310.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdafternoons310.mp3">Song #5</a> - mp3<p> http://www.notlame.com/THE_AFTERNOONS/Page_2/CDAFTERNOONS3.html
