Well, this is kind of a big deal! Out on Big Stir Records, "Reminisce" is the first new original song in decades from the legendary Flashcubes. It's actually the first of three new singles from these power pop greats coming out this summer. Written and mostly sung by Paul Armstrong, "Reminisce" actually dates back to over 30 years ago. After he wrote the song, Armstrong ending up shelving it because he didn't feel it fit his vocal range at the time. Finally he has resurrected it as a love letter to the band's fans, friends, and peers. And for sure, this song finds The Flashcubes in vintage form! The song celebrates the band's past and all those good times that were had when the group was helping to define power pop music as we know it. It also demonstrates that The Flashcubes are a vital part of power pop's present day. Guest-starring on this release is the one-and-only Mike Gent from the almighty Figgs! Crank up this track if you too want to reminisce about the old times but also appreciate that we're in the midst of a new glory period for power pop! Stay tuned for the rest of the singles in this trilogy, and be on the lookout for a very special Flashcubes-related project coming from Big Stir in September!
