Peter & the Penguins usher in the new beat(le-esque) era
Peter and the Penguins are the latest, fab stewards of the good ship Beatle-esque to steer the ears of melodic pop fans and denizens of the beat music era to a rousing chorus of yeah, yeah, yeahs. A round of hearty handclaps, then, for these boys from Norway. Prepare to get Penguin-ized!
The pure pop pleasure of the songs on these two EPs cannot be denied. From Barefoot, "There's No Living Here Without You" takes its cues from a decidedly McCartney-ized reservoir of melodic structure, a la Macca's "My Brave Face" (the infectious bass line is pure, Paul). Not only is the basic structure of the infectious, mid-tempo popper "If You Wanna Leave Me for Somebody New" basically Beatle-esque (dig the instrumental section piano line for a warm nod back to early Fabs), the song is a veritable Sixties nod (don't miss the delectable Mamas and Papas moment in the middle-eight). For more Sixties pleasure, the marvelous "Barefoot" wears its Beach Boys worship on its intensely-melodic sleeve, no more so than during its gorgeous, opening a cappella section.
The leadoff track on Peter & the Penguins is a decidedly Beatle-esque, early era-style bopper. A hook-heavy chorus and a thumping bass, not to mention Harrison-esque DNA dripping from the lead guitar lines, fuel the upbeat "She Took Me By Surprise." The mid-tempo toe-tapper "Sweetheart" sports a particularly catchy chorus with great harmonies.
Mixed in with the group's ace originals is a trio of nifty covers that showcase the boys' ability to bring contemporary life to the rich history of Sixties musical versatility. They remold Lavern Baker's stalwart "Bumble Bee" as a rocking Shadows workout played with a cowboy's sensibility. "All Right," mistakenly billed as "Alright" and previously waxed by the Guess Who, among others, rocks with a Cavern Club intensity that shakes off enough energy to rattle the nerves of any listener. Both songs appear on Peter & the Penguins. A blistering take on Eddie Phillips' "Biff Bang Pow" matches the beat power of the Creation's original in a big way (the guitar solo in the Penguins' version really cooks). Talk about sweat pouring off the walls!
Taken together, the songs on these two smashing EPs could easily be sequenced, with a few more tracks, into an album length treasure. One track that would absolutely have to be included is the supremely infectious, vote-for-Ringo manifesto "There Goes Pete Best," which can be heard on the Penguins' MySpace page (see link below).
There's no doubt about it: Peter and the Penguins is the Beatle-esque "it" band of the moment. If Beatle-esque and beat pop are your game, then you're in for a great time, and you can't beat that.

This is one of the best CDs I have come accross in many many years. First off, my credentials for reviewing this CD.
I have been a professional musician for over 45 years and learned The Beatles� materiel as each album was released at the time! I have multiple music degrees, including a Master�s in music composition and arranging from a private music school in Los Angeles. I have owned numerous recording studios over the years, been a staff arranger and also engineer. I have played with the best in Hollywood for years and made my living with music almost my whole life. I was a music production manager at Lorimar Productions for three weekly national network sitcoms and have an Emmy. I know a thing or two about music and bands and CDs....
This album is the bomb! If you like The Beatles, you will absolutely love this album to death. Yet, it is fresh and new; not a rehash of old-sounding stuff. Creative, timeless, nostalgic, current, rockin�, exciting, hot... and many more adjectives aptly apply. There is not a dead puppy in the whole lot; every single song is wonderful. No filler songs here. And the sonic quality!!! Their mix engineer and mastering lab are to be commended indeed! This album is among the best I have ever heard when it comes to sonic clarity and presence. Every note, nuance... perfectly captured. The bass in particular sings out and the harmonies are something to marvel at.
These guys have their act together. Get this CD now, before it goes out of print and a major label grabs up these guys... and starts screwing up their sound! You will not regret adding this album to your collection; I guarantee it!!!
