Jim Basnight

Genius of Love

Ugly Side

Lose Me

PowerPopholic Records

These three new singles are nicely punky, in a very 70s sort of way, but are also 70s style melodic pop. They are all about the ups and downs of relationships. All three are very appealing, as they are clear and direct, fun, but meaningful, simple, but not simplistic.

If you’ve never gotten into Jim Basnight’s work before, this is a great place to start. This is rock the way it isn’t made anymore. I say that not as an old fogey. it’s just that I want to hear as much of this type of rock as possible, bring it back to prominence, and, as I say, here is a good place to start.
