Peace And Love

by DC Cardwell

on Way With Words

in Rock, Powerpop

DC Cardwell has great pop sensibilities. He's also well-schooled in the history of power pop. On "Peace and Love" one clearly hears the influences of Rockpile, Magazine, and even the Rich Kids. It's not derivative, though. DC's music stands on its own. Tuneful with sweet harmonies; jangly, yet packing punch: You'll have a hard time getting this melody out of your head.
