The Pop Corporation

Very few of us are immune to a blast of breezy, pure pop. Or is it power pop? Whatever it is, we were very pleasantly surprised to find that Haircut 100 had returned with Nick Heyward and pals, with a new track called ‘The Unloving Plum’.

With some very lovely horns, jangly guitars and loads of harmonies, Heyward clearly still has a way with ear-wormy melodies and more, and the group are in fine form.

There’s been a spate of great power pop singles from all corners of the globe lately, so if this whole thing is resurgent, we’re very happy about that indeed.
