Athens, Georgia based power pop bandChris McKay & the Critical Darlings . According toFlagpole magazine, "There’s a vague but strong taste of Cheap Trick’s “Surrender” in its muscular smiling power-pop, and that’s always a selling point." [ [http://flagpole.com/Music/RecRev/2005-11-23 Flagpole Review] ] The University of Georgia paper Red and Black declared the disc as sounding like "the Clash or some other music from that time."
