The Well Wishers have unleashed their latest opus magnus and it is called "How I Won The War...". Jeff Shelton, the leader of The Well Wishers, continues to hone and refine his special craft, which we've always maintained sounds like Shoes. As in the classic power pop band, Shoes. (not the things on yr feet!). Like this previous efforts with Spinning Jennies and The Well Wishers, this latest work is easy to enjoy for genuine power pop fans with chugging, melodic rhythms, powerful hooks, angelic vocals, verses that tickle `n hint at `the great money shot of a classic chorus and a respectful homage to pop peers. Those inspirations include the Shoes, The Posies, Nada Surf and Matthew Sweet. The album marks a notable artistic step forward and finds the band breaking through some of the pure power pop barriers of their first two records. Drawing equal influence from 80's post-punk and classic power pop, the album offers a poignant, yet decidely pessimistic take on the metaphors of love and war - all wrapped in a dense, fervently melodic package.

AND......Not Lame has something to bring to the party for all you, as well. But this offer is only good until May 7th and then---it's toast. So don't wait

Before The Well Wishers, Jeff Shelton's band Spinning Jennies released
a large body of great music over five albums. We'll have a download of
the entire best works from the band. As a no-nonsense power trio, The
Jennies sound embodied the cornerstones of classic power pop: big chiming
guitars, driving rhythms, soaring vocal harmonies...and the ever-important
melodic hook! Through the years, they have received comparison to bands like
70s power pop icons Shoes, The Posies, Redd Kross, Cheap Trick, Sloan,
Husker Du and Matthew Sweet. It has 18 songs, too!

You need this. It's worth the price by itself three times over.

I always have to go the extra mile for you all out there.
It's easy because it's important for Not Lame to get you all hip to the best in the music
that we carry and The Well Wishers are a special band and when new music
comes from them, I feel they merit special attention. SOOOOO......

The Well Wishers' last album was out-right, jaw-dropping pop
accomplishment that most artists dream of but come up short on. Not Lame will gather up 5 of our favorite trax from it for you to download and enjoy with the
purchase of "How I Won The War.."

Pretty good, right?

So you get 2 1/2 albums for the price of one. Who else out there in
power poppin' land is giving you this kind of value on a regular basis?

If you want to buy the full album, well you can. We're putting it on
sale for only $7. But only until May 7th.

So listen to this album some more. Enjoy it regardless of what you
decide. The music matters. And Not Lame strives to do our best to bring you the
best pop music out there and bring the special ones to your attention.

The Well Wishers are such a band.

ENJOY!!
