"Can't Be Wrong" by The Jellybricks

The Jellybricks are an underground power pop band started back in 1997 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Since then, they've released five full-length albums and an EP, and shared stages with the likes of Goo Goo Dolls, Live, Barenaked Ladies, and Fountains of Wayne. However, this popular indie band hasn't been able to attract major label interest.

The great "Can't Be Wrong" kicks off the band's third record, entitled "Power This." Produced by another underrated luminary of the power pop world, Cliff Hillis, it is considered by many to be among the band's best. Personally, I find myself reaching for their sophomore effort, "Soapopera," more often.

"Keep The Blue Skies" by Cliff Hillis

From the 2012 album, "Dream Good," "Keep The Blue Skies" is one of the best songs of that year. Cliff Hillis is the indie singer/songwriter behind this great little tune of optimism, and he has much more where that came from. Before his solo career, Hillis was a member of the underground power pop favorites, Starbelly. He then played with John Faye in the John Faye Power Trip before starting his solo career in 2001 with the album "Be Seeing You."
