<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“Melodic guitar pop-rock inspired by the 60s/70s” is probably the best definition I can come up with of ‘The Pop Underground’. Personally, I believe this ‘genre’ encapsulates several pop-rock styles like Rock ’n’ Roll, Power Pop, Chamber Pop, Orchestral Pop, Glam, Punk, Mod, Merseybeat, Psychedelic Rock, Garage, Alt-Country and the like. Simply put, this is retro rock music that thrived initially in the 90s but has been truly under the radar since 2000 and continues to struggle to gain prominence, dismissed as ‘irrelevant’ by the hip and the cool. Fuck ‘em, cuz GOOD music is GOOD music.

most refreshing discoveries of this year for Power of Pop has to be Glasgow-based indie band, Tuff Love.</p> <p class="p1">Their new album <em>Resort</em> – a compilation of three previously released EPs is the perfect jumping on point for anybody who has not heard of this amazing band yet.</p> <p class="p1">Best part of all this is that based on the answers from Julie and Suse, Tuff Love is as charming, witty and down to earth as their heartfelt music suggests. Enjoy!</p> <p class="p1"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/power-of-pop-interview-tuff-love/#more-17371" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">POWER OF POP INTERVIEW: TUFF LOVE</span> <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a></p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"><span class="tag-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/glasgow/" rel="tag">Glasgow</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/indie-pop/" rel="tag">Indie-pop</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/interview/" rel="tag">Interview</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/power-of-pop-interview/" rel="tag">Power of Pop Interview</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/tuff-love/" rel="tag">Tuff Love</a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/tag/uk/" rel="tag">UK</a></span></footer></article> <article id="post-17369" class="post-17369 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-music-2 tag-flowers tag-indie tag-music-videos tag-news tag-poptv tag-reviews tag-september-girls tag-spring-king tag-the-new-rock-n-roll"> <header class="entry-header"> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="cat-links"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/category/music-2/" rel="category tag">MUSIC</a></span> </div> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/poptv-the-new-rock-n-roll-5/" rel="bookmark">PoPTV – THE NEW ROCK ’N’ ROLL</a></h1> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="entry-date"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/poptv-the-new-rock-n-roll-5/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2016-02-20T11:30:42+00:00">February 20, 2016</time></a></span> <span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/author/kevin/" rel="author">Kevin Mathews</a></span></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p class="p1"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549/http://www.powerofpop.com/poptv-the-new-rock-n-roll-2/the-new-rock-n-roll/" rel="attachment wp-att-17077"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17077" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/The-New-Rock-N-Roll.jpg" alt="The New Rock N Roll" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/The-New-Rock-N-Roll-300x169.jpg 300w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/The-New-Rock-N-Roll-450x253.jpg 450w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160305202549im_/http://www.powerofpop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/The-New-Rock-N-Roll.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"/></a></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Rock ‘n’ roll might not have the same commercial or cultural impact it used to have but we promise to keep the flag flying.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Here are videos of new music you should be listening to that expresses the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
