The Reflectors - "Teenage Hearts"

Oh man, do I ever have something great for you today! The band name The Reflectors might be new to you, but perhaps you remember James Carman, Nick Fashion, and Ryan Miranda from the amazing L.A. power pop band Images. With Johnny Reyes joining in on drums and Carman (LA Drugz, Telephone Lovers, Maniac) back on guitar and vocals, The Reflectors pretty much pick up where Images left off. The band's debut single will be out next week on the German label Time For Action Records. The A-side, "Teenage Hearts" is a perfect slice of Buzzcocks/Undertones punk-pop meets early LA power pop. The cover art and musical style scream 1979, and that's definitely alright by me! This song could not be any more up my alley! On the flip, "Desert Crusader" moves away from the love song motif in favor of darker themes and an even punchier sound. It's really cool to hear the band trying something different for the B-side and totally pulling it off! That chorus is nothing short of haunting. What a tremendous debut single from The Reflectors! Vinyl releases Tuesday, and you can order it here.
