THE JELLYBRICKS - Goodnight Everyone

2008 release! Produced by Saul Zonana so you know it going to sound great - and, it sure does! It has been about 3 Ã�Â½ years since their last one but they have made very good use of that time writing excellent material and putting together cool, flashy and loud chops that burst addictive melodies not unlike a power pop version of Elvis Costello with Matthew Sweet, lots of Sweet in this confection, in fact! "Goodnight To Everyone" showcases The Jellybricks` ever-maturing songwriting skills and studio sensibilities. The songs here reflect the ensuing maturity that fives since their past one bring into the light and you`ll be hard press to find more easily enjoyable power pop to digest because it`s all filled with mesmerizing, hummable melodies, earthy jangle, relaxed, layered vocal harmonies and a adrenalized band vibe.

""Bringing us power pop with a capital `P`, they bring to mind statemates Ike (former Ike Cliff Hillis produced `Power This`), as well as Matthew Sweet and The Tories. Saul Zonana co-produced, played on and mixed several of the tracks, and his fans should enjoy this one as well. `Eyes Wide` is a great, fast-paced opener that draws the Ike comparisons, and it`s followed by the title track, a classic power pop number with an indelible chorus. `Ruin Us` and `More to Lose` are a bit more on the janglier (yet still rocking) side, reminiscent of fellow Northeasterners Smash Palace, while `Nobody Else` might be the best track on the disc, a wonderfully catchy tune with Jellyfish/ELO-like backing vocals. And in a nice touch, the disc closes with `Heartache Begins`, the kind of lush, anthemic ballad you just don`t see enough power pop bands save for the end. This is classic power pop at its finest"-AbsolutePowerPopBlog.

"Following up 2004`s wonderful "Power This" is an even more rocking affair from The Jellybricks! It`s great to hear these guys let loose and rock out track after track. Tons of great harmonies and melodies, Goodnight To Everyone should appeal to fans of R.E.M., The Grays, Cheap Trick, and The Beatles! Extremely great sounding stuff!"-PopBangRadio. "`s the BEST THING this band has ever done! In fact, it`s one of the best power pop cds of the year.Blowing away their earlier releases, the band has become stronger in every way! Fans of Saul Zonana (He produced it!), The Churchills, The Wannadies, Cheap Trick, Ed James, The Who, The Raspberries, Teenage Fanclub, etc...will jump for power pop joy! If good vocals are really important to you, you will be pleased to know this is very strong in the vox department. The same holds true for the songwriting! Enough raving...just get it. Grade A " Jeremy Morris, JAM Records. Big Time, Extremely Highly Recommended!
