March 2, 2011, (CNBC) COUNTDOWN TO THE CLOSING BELL Plays "NEXT BIG THING" from the cd "NEXT BIG THING" THE BRAMBLES LOST RECORDINGS NOW OUT!!! WWW.CDBABY.COM/CD/BRAMBLES4 3/23/09 www.myspace.com/timanthonythebrambles Review from Brazil Monday, 20 October 2008 "Retrofit"/"The Next Big Thing"/"The Happy Door": TIM ANTHONY & THE BRAMBLES "Retrofit" / "The Next Big Thing" / "The Happy Door": TIM ANTHONY & THE Bramble If we could condense the trajectory of commercial power in the world of pop music in a single artist, Tim Anthony could use as an example. Artisan's perfect pop song, the American musician from Syracuse, was repeatedly at a pitch of a great record. In more than 25 years of career, Anthony could have signed with Elektra, Geffen, A & M, Capitol ... but in the last minute, something always failed (some would call it "the curse of power pop "...). Retrofit is a collection of rare recordings with Anthony made in the'80s (after the Brambles formed with the cousin Lou Anthony, but continued releasing solo albums). Indeed, for beginners in the career of the U.S., more interesting are his latest album: The Next Big Thing, from 2000, with Brambles and The Happy Door 2005, the discography soil. ” As record, is worth mentioning the two tracks of the opening of Retrofit, where Anthony led the Agents in 1982, which lasted only a single, "Do not Forget Me" ( "Agents Of The Future" was the B side). The Next Big Thing crystallizes the sound of Anthony: Sixty influences run along the lines of classic power pop of the late 70 and early 80's. But always falling for more pop side of that time, as is well marked on the title track. "Gotta Be Love" is a pop gem that should be played on radio around the world every day, forever. But the beautiful chords of "She'll Never Know" emotions in ares of classic song. The collection of pearls, displaying a pop is the one: "The Need For Knowing," "Maybe This Time," "Baby Girl," "Wish" ... They are 16 songs with potential to hit single and could have fattened the bank account a lot of great record there. The Happy Door is the last release of Anthony in solo career. Produced by Ed James - who also played several instruments on the disc - shows a level higher than the previous record, but the same ability to transform into Tim notes / chords in pop craft. Open the album "Maryellen," whose original recording date of April 1983, and we have not lost a drop of energy and pop league. And as proof that the majors have become expendable and pop to Tim Anthony is of high caliber, "Maryellen" appeared in a TV show from NBC recently. What ends up being more a suit in the path of Anthony track along with the hundreds of artists power pop: the commercial potential that the record companies despise, TV and film deal with value and of course, use in tv shows (Tim also has been hired by MTV and VH-1 to lend their songs to several reality shows made by those broadcasters). "Baby I'm Back" should be in high rotation schedule: easy melody, slinky chorus, vocal harmonies perfect. Like "This Autumm", "No Words" or "All This Time." The contagious taken from "Maybe This Girl" is in tune with the self-adhesive, the sharp guitars and vocal harmonization Sixty: it becomes a classic of power pop of'00. The ballad "No Words", emotional melodic beauty in not forgetting the chorus of DNA pop. The avalanche of classic melodies and stickers still rolling disc below: "Disappear", "Mondays With You" and "The End Of Us," which closes the album. In the end, the non-recognition of the talents of Tim Anthony - and 99% of power pop artists - the majors, and consequently, the large audience, which did not prevent him move on and now were here, face to face with you . His mastery pop has been forever and may even, perhaps, one day achieve more popular stops. But, frankly, it seems no more import. Because I believe in the power of song to Tim Anthony. . Not in "curses". www.myspace.com/timanthonythebrambles www.myspace.com / timanthonythebrambles Postado por Paolo Miléa às 11:57 Posted by Paolo MILEA at 11 If you can remember the joy of albums like Rubber Soul or No Dice then The Brambles are your ticket. Time and a word, NYC. Cousins Tim and Lou Anthony are The Brambles. These guys love the Beatles. These tasty pop songs make that obvious. Their love for melody and hooks runs deep. The wonderful vocal harmonies and guitar work are tack sharp. This cd is a top 10 best of 2000. I strongly recommend this release. Mark Bialczak, Stars Magazine, N.Y. The Brambles new single "Gotta be love" gave us tingles and leaving us wanting ohh so much more. we found our selves hitting the repeat button over and over. Ted and Amy, 93q.radio Syracuse, New York The Brambles bring the glory days of the 1960's when melodic pop songwriting was the rule of thumb and not an afterthought. These guys rock and sing their ars's off. The songs and great harmonies make you wish there were more bands like this. Thank god the Brambles exist. I can't wait for their next release. D.J. Paulie. WSAM,radio Hartford, CT The Brambles "Next Big Thing" their second release is a light and airy powerpop one that evokes strong doses of raspberries and kyle vincent styled music. Like a mix of the flashcubes of yesteryear and Chris Von Sneidern of today. The sound is straightforward and simple, but the pure pop hooks and lilting melodies are soothing and embracing for fans of this style of pop... and for them, it's a strongly recommended release! Nice to have this style of pop made today. Bruce Brodeen, Notlame. An apt moniker for one of the better pop rock records to out this year. Their blend of electric and acoustic guitars remind me of mick ronson's arrangements on Bowie' Ziggy stardust. Also the vocal harmonies that anchor each track are letter perfect. This is the type of album that never fades with age, thanks to tasteful musicianship and heartfelt songwriting. With brief infectious songs that stickin your memory long after the disc stops spinning. "Gotta be Love" the first single boasts slide guitar parts that would do George Harrison proud. the Brambles manage to be dreamlike and flex their musical muscle. Play it loud, play it low, in a perfect world "next big thing" would be just that. Tom Semioli, Amplifier Magazine.
