A dash of ambrosial power pop, a blast of garage-y rock 'n' roll! The Bastards of Melody champion priorities like good, strong melodies and intelligent songwriting and the camaraderie that comes from sharing a common passion. Their new CD, "Fun Machine," produced by James Mastro, picks up where band's debut EP, 1999's "Keep It Down," left off, a solid, tuneful, upbeat mix of pop and punk with a touch of country twang.
