Influenced by the
British Invasion, this predominantly California-rooted,
Austin-based band weaves its passions for the classics
into a tapestry of melodic beach and modern up tempo power pop.
Their undeniable
inventiveness has produced three critically-acclaimed CD’s
with a fourth set for delivery in 2005, as well as a string of
contributions to
numerous compilation and tribute CDs that span a decade.
Fans of the Beatles, the Byrds, Teenage Fanclub or the Jayhawks,
will all find
Blue Cartoon's powerful emphasis on melody, harmony and composition
a refreshing reminder that good, old-fashioned, power pop songs
are never out of style.
"This is richly
melodic music, more from the Raspberrys or Badfinger side
of the tracks... Southern
California pop feel, full of spiraling guitars and precise harmonies"-
Pop Culture Press
"a ringing
assault of open chorded and harmoniously layered pure pop"-
Not Lame Recordings
"Sweet, pure
power pop that simply melts in the ears... Clarity
and beauty of presentation create a happy and joyous feeling" -
