The Bangles emerged from the ’60’s rock-obsessed Paisley Underground scene in Los Angeles (“Paisley High, Class of 1983,” as guitarist Vicki Peterson would joke) with their major label debut, All Over The Place. The lead single was pure power pop: bright and tight, guitar driven rock with a slight melancholia. Enjoy ‘Hero Takes A Fall’.

Musicians are stuck at home waiting for the moment to play live again in front of fans but until then, many have taken to the net to play and sing songs. Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong is among those playing covers – including this rockin’ pop gem from 1967. For Power Pop Tart, it’s ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’.
