Release Notes:
--------
Ryan Maynes (aka Schmedly) and his merry band mates have returned to build on
the astounding success of their previous album. Truly filled to the brim with
unabashed worship of Electric Light Orchestra, Jellyfish, and The Beach Boys
it's like listening to bright sunshine. Opening with the harmonic treats on
"Tangerine" complete with ELO-styled guitar goodness it transitions to the "Pet
Sounds" sing-along  "I'm So In Love." Hook after hook are poured into these
songs and that's what's so impressive here - it's perfect power pop. Fans of
Harry Nilsson will flip for "New Skin" - it sounds exactly like him and bounces
along with the same style that made The Point so wonderful.  The next few tracks
("Feels So Good" and "Riding The Shark") are multi-layed with guitars, harmonies
and unique instrumentations that compare well to Jellyfish albeit with
Schmedly's grizzled vocal approach. "Cows" uses the multi-tracked vocal style
throughout and the mid tempo ballad "Miss Lonely" rounds out a perfect album
half.  Schmedly's vocals head fully into Bryan Adams territory with the dramatic
"The Lie" and the remaining album tracks are very strong, but don't shine as
bright. The group vocals and melodies on "Chemical High" and "Just Might" recall
mid-western rock bands like The Allman Brothers Band or Bob Segar a bit and the
Elton John-like piano chord shifts round it out on "Nothing As Nice." -
