Caesars

Add Date: August 12

Artist: Caesars

Album: Strawberry Weed

Label: Astralwerks

Genre: Rock, power pop

Comments: From the promoter: "Strawberry Weed offers the sort of power pop that takes the raw rock and R&B rage of mid-60s The Who, The Kinks, and The Rolling Stones as its starting point... but their sound is fully clothed in a modern, rebellious edge..." This Swedish band is clearly aiming for that kind of greatness; whether they get there or not is another question. Still, "Waking Up," "Boo Boo Goo Goo" (tell me which '60s melody you think this song rips off) and the title track are all decent tunes.
