40 years ago, Los Angeles new wave-power pop band The Bings recorded an album of crunchy pop songs - and suddenly broke up while major record labels were pursuing them. Forty years later, The Bings' bass player found the original 1981-82 studio 16-track master tapes in a file cabinet. They've been restored, digitized and re-mixed using state-of-the-art technology. In 2023, these songs are compiled in 'Power Pop Planet,' an album worthy of The Romantics, The Shoes, and Cheap Trick. Led by David Chrenko, a former member of the Bomp! Records team - they put the POWER in pop music, capturing everything that was great about the first wave of the punk/new wave/power pop music genres. This is a great collection of "lost hits from the from the heyday of power pop!" Driven by the songwriting of David Chrenko, and fueled by big guitars and 3-part harmonies, The Bings' 'Power Pop Planet (The Lost Tapes)' is a must-have for any fan of power pop/new wave.
