Speaking of Metal in your Power-pop, I've wanted to mention a great album by The Zeros (the band from Los Angeles, CA) called "4-3-2-1...The Zeros" on Restless Records from 1991. They were marketed as a metal/glam Sunset Strip band, but it's just cool revved-up Power-Pop. Highly recommended for those who like a touch of Metal in your Power-Pop...M
