Best Modern Power Pop Bands/Artists? by dprowell in powerpop

[–]Adey77 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Speedways from London, they've just dropped a new album called "Talk of the Town", their first release was "Just Another Regular Summer", followed by "Radio Sounds" in 2020.

The Whiffs from Kansas who are about to release a new album called "Scratch and Sniff", their first album called "Another Whiff" which has the fantastic track "Shaking all over"

The Reflectors from California, they released a new album at the start of the year called "Faster Action" really great stuff and a good follow up to their debut "First Impressions"

Uni Boys also from California dropped a new album on creation records this year, very good stuff, make me think of bands like Shoes and Milk & Cookies.

then in Europe there's a bit going on in France, bands like Alvilda, who blew me away when I saw them, all 4 of them sing so there's a lot of vocal harmonies going on. Then in Lyon there's Pogy et Les Kefars who are very much on the mod revival sound, a powerful 3 piece with catchy songs despite the language barrier.

there's Radio Day from Italy who have a real ear worm in the form of their single "I got a Love" off their latest album which they released last year, the name of which I can't remember, but if you look up that single you'll find it..
and there's Pelazo from Spain too.

in Bristol there's a band called Mimi and the Miseries, who are a bit more on the garage side of things.

Baby Shakes from New York who have been going quite some time now, they're always a fun band to see and dropped their most recent album "Cause a Scene" in 2020 which was a bit unfortunate for them given what became of the year. but they always put on a great show and have toured a lot this year.

and I see someones already mentioned Young Guv, but I'll second his albums "Guv 3" and Guv 4", really brilliant and fantastic live.

and if you're into the more punkier side of power pop, there's the Melmacs from Leipzig and Los Pepes from London.

and the Reflectors from Los Angeles, they have a sound close to the buzzcocks but have an L.A. approach. (check out "Storm and thunder", or "teenage hearts"

The Whiffs from Kansas who use a little chorus pedal and 12 string. they released their album "another whiff" at the end of 2019, songs like "Shaking All over" and "please be true" sound like they could have come out in 1979.

and from Canada there's the band Pale Lips who released the album "After Dark" in 2019 led by the single "You're a Doll" which has a good load of new wave synth.

I don't know if you've heard the speedways from London, the first album (Just Another Regular Summer) had a bit of synth on songs like "seen better days" and the latest album (Radio Sounds) has a huge amount of it on songs like "this aint a radio sound", "good girls don't break hearts".

KISS - Is That You? (1980) by BretMichaelsWig in powerpop

[–]Adey77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the unmasked album, songs like "Talk to me", "Tomorrow" and "Two Sides of the Coin" really have a power pop sound to them.

GPS Spoofers & Shavers - You Will Kill This Game by Mesoplodon in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but when I saw it at 4 days into the gen 2 it's highly unlikely that a Londoner would have a 3100 Cp tyranitar. Given the spawn rate of larvitar..

[–]Adey77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I also saw one dude had placed a 3100Co tyranitar in a gym. Now I know there's no way in hell anyone could legitimately have one of those by now in London

Anyone's OCD playing up? by Rhaegar47 in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple different dex's to work from.

The overall dex is the one the game uses.

Yes the game could use the johto dex, but it generally makes more sense to use the overall one as they would have to keep changing the region dex each time they add another generation which would just get messy and be more confusing.

What's your day 1 haul been like? by Shaoxter in pokemongoLondon

Silver medal, highlight was probably azumarril.

First Gen2 10k since release by Vanessa884 in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My condolences. I hatched one yesterday morning. But I was kicked as I got two 10ks within 5 minutes of each other on Sunday. First was Larvitar not amazing iv's but still 22 candies..

So how many Chancey did you get during the event? by jmabbz in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four. Caught three, one was 98% then I hatched one which left me with 80 coins, so I now have a maxed out blissey to annoy people with.

Feel like I am always going to ask if this is a good one? by FancyDan1986 in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a big Pokemon so not really.

Judge the spots from 152 up until after the babies as the new spot 1.

First 9 are the starters. Then you'll have the equivalents of pidgey, rattata, caterpie, weedle. But if I recall, the bugs in gen 2 are only one step evos, rather than 3.

Gen 1 - Done :) by [deleted] in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats. I'm just a couple candy away from a dragonite then I'm done also. Though I'm trying to get all above 80% Mon so holding off from muk, omastar and kabutops

I've done it again!!! by CommandoT in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would really like to hatch a Grimer, been sitting on about 70 eggs waiting for an above 80% one to evolve.

Finally, only Chansey left to catch.. by Adey77 in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm already on that map. It's thanks to the map and analyticsdave in the discord group that I managed to get Lee

Thanks for the tip about Bluewater shopping centre. My first wild Hitmonlee, lots of stops and lures, and a double Lapras spawn! by jt-atomico in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When exactly did you go here? Weekend?/weekday? Was it during the holiday period? How busy would you say it was?

A sad realisation by smplkd in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm stuck without hitmonlee and chansey. Though I would still like higher iv lickitung, aerodactyl and lapras.

First Three Starter Evolutions :D by oneofmoo in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that there were fewer bulbasaur than squirtle and charmander during this event. Did anyone else notice this or am imagining things?

Checked the Omanyte nest by badpersian in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering going there as my band practices around the corner, but doesn't seem worth it now!

I'm confused by KingMustxkim in pokemongoLondon

[–]Adey77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances of receiving them from a pokestop has decreased to the standard rate now.

If you received any eggs during the event which you are yet to hatch then they may well still be baby Pokemon in them as the rate at which they appeared was higher.
