Nice review at Popjunkietv

Just found this review of 'Shifting Sands' at Popjunkietv..

'There have been so many good new(ish) psych bands who have released fantastic albums in 2010 that I do wonder that there are probably loads of great bands who have slipped past my radar. Take The Sunchymes, a band brought to my attention via Twitter, who IMO are up there with Superimposers, Colorama, Moles and the others.
Shifting Sands is actaully the work of a fella called Aaron who hails from Northampton but spirtually resides a block away from Brian Wilson. The Sunchymes have mid to late 60s Beach Boys completely nailed (Aaron even sounds a little like a Wilson brother) and yet have wonderful songs that absorb other influences too - I can hear a bit of UK psych, a smidgeon of Jellyfish and even a little Teenage Fanclub.
The tunes on the band's debut album Shifting Sands are uniformly excellent. I especially the cars 'n girls ambience of Feeling Just Fine, the complex Surfs Up epic that is Hung Up on a Dream and Greenacre Lane and Free Rider the two most up beat songs on the album. I also love Aaron's enderaing habit of naming his songs after 60s classics (Hung up on a Dream, Shifting Sands and even Forever Chang(es)ing.He is apparently already hard at work on the follow up.'

Hung up on a dream

Hi there

I have put up another exclusive free download at www.reverbnation.com/thesunchymes.
This time it is 'Hung up on a dream'. However, you can still download 'Greenacre Lane' for free as well.

I am also doing a download offer for the entire 'Shifting Sands' album over at CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com/artist/THESUNCHYMES).

Work is well under way on the next Sunchymes album and I have got a few of the backing tracks recorded already.

Cheers

Aaron

IPO Liverpool

Saw some great bands at the 2010 International Pop Overthrow Festival in Liverpool. The festival was held at the legendary Cavern Club.

For me the highlights included The Junipers, The Mayflowers and The Heath Robinson Five. However, there were so many good bands.

Check out the forthcming IPO compilation CD on Not Lame Records upon which The Sunchymes will appear! I think it is due out in August 2010.
