 | | Essentially, power pop refers to any type of punchy or aggressive rock music that features strong melodies, vocal harmonies, and extremely memorable choruses. |
 | | Whether it was a reaction to the acerbic abrasiveness of punk or a kindred desire to roll rock back to the simplicity of pre-psychedelia, a new wave of bands appeared who seemed to carry on the melodic rock legacy of The Beatles, Badfinger, The Raspberries and their ilk. |
 | | Alongside power pop combos, you will hear the roots and offshoots of this style, including rockabilly, surf, girl group, old school soul, garage rock, early psychedelia, punk, new wave, alternative, and the currently unnamed "next wave" of bands who have exploded since 2002. |
