SQUIRES OF THE SUBTERRAIN RELEASE: "POP IN A CD"

For years the Rochester, New York-based Squires of the Subterrain have been

spinning pop concoctions with the flair and avidity of a State Fair cotton-

candy vendor, all prism-eyed from a mild dose. Over the years, the home

taping network- which includes some of today's most discriminating Pop

fans--have eagerly anticipated the Squires' occasional, quirky and well-

crafted tape releases.

Their latest release, Pop in a CD is packed full of pop sounds reminiscent

of--Brian Wilson and tape loop-era Beatles. Clarion harmonies stacked around a

big beat, emanating rich, aural dimensions reminiscent of Spector, the artful

dialings of George Martin, Beach Boys theremin antics... with a dash of fun-

and psychedelia- tinged Turtles.

This Pop works.

Here's what some critics say about the Squires:

"pop for fans who relish "Sunny Afternoon" Kinks, Smiley Smile Beachboys, and

Skylarking XTC" - Jordan Oakes (Yellow Pills)

"...instantly and insistently memorable"- Jack Jordan (Option)

" You'd swear it was a get-together involving Brian Wilson, Sir Paul and, in

parts Mr. Lennon too." -Terry Hermon (Bucketfull of Brains)

With "Pop In A CD," the Squires of the Subterrain are accorded the format and

aural range the band's danceable, imaginative and richly endowed Pop

warrants-- and Squire fans deserve.

The Squires' new one is here. So pop in that CD...

Mark the groove with some good old-fashioned finger popping...

And enjoy some of the most lively, rich and imaginative Pop around.

--POP In A CD--Now all you have to do is DO IT!--
