Now that we've seen it, we can confirm there are cool things to do and cool people to hang out with in the upside down part of the world. For example, if one were to jump on an airplane and fly 15 hours from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia and spend a week hanging out with Love That Album and See Hear podcast host/producer Maurice Bursztynski and his lovely family, one would come away with a memorable experience they won't soon forget. We're here to share a small part of that experience in the form of our latest pod - Top Ten Essential Power Pop Bands Volume 2, in which Maurice helped us count down another batch of amazing bands that are steeped in that hook-laden, heart-on-sleeve power pop tradition, with more all-time legends and a couple of hidden gems we think everyone should know about. Picks 5-1 are featured here in Part 2. Power Pop Forever!

Just one year ago, ATTT finally dipped our toes in the warm inviting waters of Power Pop. We knew right away that there had to be a Volume 2, and quickly. Well we're as good as our word, and right on time. Presenting Top Ten Essential Power Pop Bands Volume 2 - another batch of decade-spanning jangle-tastic rock groups to tug on your heart strings with their own personal brand of catchy, hook-filled songs. This pod was taped last October in sunny Melbourne, Australia at the home of our humble host and this episode's special guest, the mighty Maurice Bursztynski, who, as it turns out, actually exists in real life. Shannon Hurley joined us for color commentary as we got into some more power pop magic. Picks 10-6 are revealed here in Part 1.
