1981 Housekeeping

The Radio

Radiowave

Genre: Power Pop

2.5 out of 5



Highlights:

Popman



Giving X a run for their money in the race to see which band’s name would be more frustrating to seek out information about, here’s another Power Pop band from 1981 that sounds like they would be better suited to exist in 1973. 

This has Raspberries smell all over it. But given Jan-Egil Bogwald Facebook profile I think I can suss out that this is a Norwegian musician who is still plugging away in his homeland but somehow this record made it to our shores. 

I loveD this sound. From 1972-1974 when it ruled the airwaves, it was terrific. Bay City Rollers. Hudson Brothers. All of that eventually migrated to Saturday Morning TV and then got washed away. 

You know what? Bypass this record and go find After School Special by Teen Machine, another rarely talked about Power Pop/Glam project but this time its from the mid 2000s and it’s terrific. 

Maybe I’ll link it in the comments. 

Yeah. I’ll do that. 



Points off for not being a complete record.
