OK, time for some good old fashioned guitar-based rock and roll. Paul Spencer released his debut album, The Whole Shebang, in 2005 which Mark Suppanz of The Big Takeover described as "A promising debut album - Spencer infuses his meaty, Cheap Trick / Heartbreakers-like garage / power-pop with thick catchy riffs, and a scratchy, bluesy voice which alternately recalls Elvis Costello, Paul Westerberg and The New York Dolls’ David Johansen...the songs are solid and Spencer's enthusiasm remains unchecked throughout the album.” I think that pretty much sums up the late 1970s power pop sound Spencer's new release Cut The Jive delivers without sounding dated. Really good rock doesn't need a lot of over production and filler thrown in when the songs sound this good. Raw, simple, direct, brilliant. Here's No Regrets which is an ideal add to any rock radio format. For more previews be sure to check out Spencer's music page.No Regrets

Man, this song is awesome! I never heard of this band before, but I sure love their sound. It's amazing the amount of good music that goes under the radar
