Editor's Pick--Potion - Band of Outsiders
Quirky pop-rock greets the ear immediately as "Band of Outsiders" begins. You can hear some Depeche Mode influence somewhat along with a nod in the direction of the more alternative rockers The B52's. But Potion knows how to draw their own line in the sand as they continue with political commentary surrounded by catchy hooks and noodled vocal trips that not everyone will instantly like. Always up-tempo, Potion loves to rock the Casbah with all the hefty mighty guitar-centric kids set aside for a moment. Yeah, there are plenty of bleeps and electronica's for all the electro fans but this isn't a rehashing of what already happened during Reagan's tenure and that's what makes it so darn special.

You'll have to get The Meek's "A Whole Different Country" if you liked the "Tao of Steve"'s soundtrack, or heck saw the darn movie. With an indie-pop sound similar to the Lemonheads or The Kinks, The Meek are hoping to re-propel the San Francisco music scene to the head story of all the major music rags across the country. But what's more is that along the pathway they've spotted us a number of pretty tight songs.[J-sin, Smother.net (USA)]

On their 4-song EP, Circa, San Francisco duo Potion come at you with a wave of pure style. The title track swirls together a Stereolab-ish bounce, crisp acoustic guitar and Anne Maley's sultry pop vocals, plus whispering French voices in the background. All of the songs have a fresh, upbeat sound, somewhat retro in tone but full of life. Yet Potion aren't all about flair and sonic fashion; their songs have memorable melodies and heartfelt lyrics that tackle love and loneliness. Their style will catch your attention first, but underneath it lies solid songwriting and genuine emotion.[dave heaton, Erasing Clouds (USA)]

If you love the warm female vocals of Call And Response or in fact those of '70s singers Helen Reddy or Maureen McGovern (remember the theme from "Poseidon Adventure"?), then hop to it! The SF duo known as Potion embrace many genres but most often find their way back to a smooth, lounge-y sound. A low and lilting, calming debut.[Aquarius Records (USA)]
