We love power pop here at If It's Too Loud..., and Boston has some of the finest power pop around. One of our favorites is The I Want You who just released a brand new single and video, "Darkside." This new song is a mix of classic and modern power pop. It has this perfect 70's slink to it, and I don't know if it's unique to this song or if I've just never noticed it before, but singer Jim Gerdeman seems to be channeling Elvis Costello here. It's 70's power pop filtered through some 90's indie rock fuzz but still sounding like a song released in the 2020's. Plus, you'll be guaranteed to be singing "You know that I'm strange, but I'm not a stranger" before your first listen is over.
You can watch the video for "Darkside" below. For more on The I Want You, check out the band's website.
