Anthemic Pop Wonder - "Rapid Pop Thrills" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Anthemic Pop Wonder - Rapid Pop Thrills
	Location	New York, New York
	Initial Impression	I'm going to love this.
Notable Lyric	"Big band, jazz, swing, lounge-a-coca-row big beat, punk rock, post everything, ya know, music from another time, hey, I'll mix it up and call it mine!" - "Party Car to Happiness"
Factoid	Very cool APW posters are included with the first 200, or so, CDs. The black and white posters are emblazoned with the band's name, a cool design, and come with the direction, Color Me. This 30-something, so-called adult is tempted to run out to buy colored pencils to color in her extra special poster. Very cool.
Serve With	Have you seen that new show on the Style Network, "You're Invited"? Call them up and have 'em come out to plan you a Rock 'n Roll party for you and 20 of your closest friends. Pop Rapid Pop Thrills into the CD player and turn up the volume - instant party.
Comments	My initial impression was, "I'm going to love this," and the CD did not disappoint me. This is the music that I sit around praying to the Rock 'n Roll gods for. The name says it all Anthemic Pop Wonder - up-tempo, melodic, guitar-driven pop music. Stand out tracks include "Hero For A Friend", which was written shortly after 9/11/01 for firefighter friends in NYC. "Party Car to Happiness", and the fantastically titled, "How Great Was Hüsker Dü"!
