The Tiddies

I checked good ole Hype Machine and I was extremely surprised to see that there hasn't been one post made on Philadelphia's The Tiddies. The Tiddies make highly melodic power-pop in the same vein as perhaps Built to Spill or Pavement, but with something more. While they've definitely got that that power-pop sound, they also employ catchy piano lines and Beatles-like harmonies, creating a really unique and unforgetable sound.

[MP3]: The Tiddies :: Hay Un Pulpo
It's funny how a piano line can really make or break a song. For instance, I hate Coldplay and the piano in their songs drives me crazy, but here in this gem of a pop song, the piano couldn't be more perfect. A simple suitar riff and steady piano start out the song until the rest of the band comes in and sweeps it off it's feet. I could listen to the "you keep on breaking my heart" part over and over again, it's just exactly what I want to hear right now.
