Fiction Like Candy
Her flair for the dramatic swirls through the music ambitiously, yet the drama now seems more honest, the sentiment sweeter and more vulnerable. The most recent incarnation of Fiction Like Candy is a little less fiction, a little more candy. And it will still leave you craving more…

2008 – San Francisco, California. A young, married rhythm section from Half Moon Bay hears an old friend from San Jose’s songs he has recorded on his own. Phone calls and emails are exchanged. There are no first impressions to make anymore, everyone gets along fine. Amps are plugged in; an initial recording session is made. They practice for a long time. A year later, they finish recording an album and start playing shows. A terse biography is drawn up to help get more shows. So the story goes once more.

Sprains are Dan, Dustin, and Jesse – three dudes who love to rock! We all have a special place in our hearts for 90’s pop punk, and when the stars aligned over San Francisco one summer night back in ‘08 we decided to make it official. Less than a year later, we’ve got over a dozen tunes that we’re itchin’ to play live.

San Francisco-based The American Professionals dole out comfortably familiar powerpop in this four-track EP. You know the deal – loud, crunchy guitars and catchy melodies. So if you’re a diehard powerpop fan, you do get the heavy guitarwork (classic 70s styled) and the Beatlesque tunes, which suggests that the likes of Cheap Trick and the Raspberries might be strong influences. It’s straightforward really. Personally, I like the subtle contrasts in the title track which does suggest that the band has more in its locker than loud and heavy. Always a good sign. That said, the adrenaline-pumping, bittersweet confections of Jump This Train, Down Low and Yet Another One More Time will keep the powerpop fans smiling. In addition, check out bonus track Love is Only Sleeping, which is a gorgeous evocation of mid-60s psychedelic-garage rock.

Orchid and Hound
http://orchidandhound.com
Pop duo Orchid and Hound is John Constantine and Lawrence Alarcon. They sing songs about love, sex, men, and sabotage.
Lawrence Alarcon and John Constantine are Orchid and Hound. The two 23-year-olds formed the band last summer, but have been making music together since high school (they met at LA County High School for the Arts).
Alarcon and Constantine were classically trained in opera (by Stephanie Vlahos) but their own music has a pop bent. Orchid and Hound songs pair soaring vocals and bouncy piano melodies over somber lyrics that focus mainly on relationships. One barely notices that the lyrical content expresses a dour mood, as the music does just the opposite. [Shamelessly grabbed from the SFWeekly]

Catchy experimental dance pop.
Laptops killed the DJs of the nineties, but we brought ourselves back to life with alchemy. Occasionally we forget about proving a point long enough to actually enjoy ourselves. Dancing in our beds, the party has left us; we like to think we know everything when we are by ourselves. ***
