Description

"Talk about classic styled POWER POP from the mid/early 80's, this utterly excellent dose of perfect melodies, hooks and pure power pop is not to be missed. Fans of Pezband, The Rubinoos, Raspberries, The Innocents & early BOMP pop bands have a winner here. Just a quick taste of the soundbites says it all. Ritchie has that classic 70's voice and he has a way of keeping it from being a nostalgia fest. While firmly footed in a majestic, rich past, it has a modern sound that dates the music comfortably for modern-power pop fans.
EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!"
-Bruce Bodeen, NOT LAME RECORDS

"Hey Pop enthusiasts! This month's "sleeper" is a wonderful record by GARY RITCHIE entitled "POP! RADIO". The disc features twelve strummy and jangly tunes, with "LIVING FOR A DREAM" heading the pack. This primo song combines early REM/Peter Buck jangle and 60's merseybeat sound. It is definetly in my TOP TEN for the year!!"
-Eric Sorensen, AMPLIFIER MAGAZINE, FUFKIN.COM

"I love it! "POP! RADIO" is in my TOP FIVE for the year."
-Beverly Paterson, AMPLIFIER MAGAZINE

"Power Pop fans who remember "Kyle" and "Who's Cryin' Now" by LOOSE LIPS back in the 80's will enjoy GARY RITCHIE's full length CD "POP! RADIO".
Vocalist/Drummer Ritchie gets strong support from fellow LOOSE LIP Jeff King. Melodic songs like; "I'll Be There", "Last Night" and "Out Of Style" recalls the FUN of the original BRITISH INVASION!!"
-Terrence Flamm, ILLINOIS ENTERTAINER

"Heavy air play in Japan for GARY RITCHIE's "POP! RADIO". "I'll Be There" is a winner!" - DJ, Kazunobu Higashi

GARY RITCHIE a lifelong CHICAGOAN (nw side) uh..er.. until recently (more on that later) thought he was going to be the next shortstop for the CHICAGO CUBS, until one day some kids on T.V. were singing YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Then came The DAVE CLARK 5, The ANIMALS, KINKS, Gerry & The PACEMAKERS, HERMAN's HERMITS, and many more. He was in!

The next thing he knew was that his younger brother got a guitar, formed a band and was playing at the movie theater BETWEEN movies. People applauded and there were um...GIRLS acting friendly! He thought in the words of JOHN LENNON, "THAT seems like a good job". The next thing he know's is that his brother is asking him if he wanted to audition for his band THE PARAMODS. Well, he didn't even own a set of drums, but, he could try-out on the other drummers drums! The first thing they ask him to play was WIPEOUT! He couldn't play WIPEOUT. So needless to say, he failed the audition. But, that really got him interested in playing. So during the great SNOWSTORM of '67 his dad drove down to the southside of CHICAGO to get his first set of drums. Oh, by the way, Gary's brother Greg has still never said a word about the failed audition!

Gary went on to play in many bands, toured, recorded and just had a good 'ol time. And he has his younger brother to thank for getting him started. Oh, and of course those four MOPTOP guys too!

That leads us up to the NOW!
Gary was sitting around one day preparing to record one song from every "BEATLE" album. His friend from his last band (LOOSE LIPS) called and asked what he was up to? His buddy JEFF KING, wanted to be a part of it. So they went on and recorded "Beat The Meatles". They ended up recording 22 BEATLE songs. It was so much fun they decided to do it again, this time doing ORIGINAL material. So "POP! RADIO" was born. It was made in the UPBEAT spirit of FUN! FUN! FUN! Oh, by the way. If you ever see a copy of "Beat The Meatles"...GRAB IT!! It's Gooooooooood.

Gary & Jeff hope you enjoy "POP! RADIO" as much as they do.

They are already in the studio working on a follow up album.

Gary is now living in AUSTIN, TEXAS as of 11-5-06. He went "kicking & screaming", but is starting to get used to the change.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!
