The Shazam

Over the years, power pop has undergone a transformation, becoming synonymous with post-Fall Out Boy emo. But because the Shazam have been around since 1997, the group embodies power pop's original aesthetic: Hans Rotenberry sings in a faux British accent, while he and his mates write insanely catchy rock 'n' roll boasting tight harmonies and Cheap Trick-like heft. If Heaven Tonight and ELO's Eldorado are the pride of your record collection, then do get friendly with Meteor.
