Bubblegum Lemonade is a 60′s influenced indie pop band based in Glasgow, Scotland. This is their 3rd album release and the albums name “Some Like It Pop”. Although Scottish you wouldn’t know unless told, I don’t find that the vocals have a Scottish accent to them. The album is mellow and reminiscent of earlier eras of music. The guitar style and sound brings through the influences. The vocals are softly sang and the drum beats are not too overpowering of the vocals, also some added backing vocals in there which top it off nicely and make the harmonies tight. I noticed the band’s name must come from the title of the Mama Cass album, which is quite fitting as their music takes you back to that time of music. The music is easy to listen to and the album flows from song to song nicely. To create a sound from the past is probably harder than it appears but Bubblegum Lemonade manage it perfectly. If I didn’t know I would think they were a band from the 60′s. Described as “The Velvets meet The Monkees in a massive tunnel”.Not sure why it’s a massive tunnel but there we go. The track’She Brings The Sunshine’ is one of the more upbeat songs with it’s jangle pop and the drum beat is slightly faster in this than some of the other tracks.The guitar riffs added into the chorus add something to the song, a little catchy melody and the do do do do, makes you want to sing along. The closing song for the album ‘Mr. Dreaming’s Bland House’ends on a good note I particular like the ending drums and electronic sound being produced. Now a lot of the album seems quite low tempo, but it allows you to sit back and take in the music, even though it may not be an album to dance to, I found it quite enjoyable even though not my normality of musical choice I would easily play this on a summers eve in the garden. The music has a warmth depth to it and a summer feeling. If you like music from the 60′s and that more distinctive retro sound then I recommend you take a listen to the music and see if it takes your memory back in time. Having only been born in the late 80′s I missed this era but even not knowing what it would have sounded like back then I think these guys have done a good job at pulling it off with these 60′s influenced melodies
