Format:Audio CD
FoW are the American Squeeze, playing catchy, timeless songs with sharp, acerbic lyrics. This is a relatively low key FoW album - hugely enjoyable throughout but without the stand out tracks you find in their best work. It was a great soundtrack to a recent holiday. Be nice to see them tour the UK but since they're no longer with a major label, maybe that's unlikely.

This album follows the previous successful pattern; well executed, upbeat power pop, clever lyrics and warming harmonies - but even better than ever. Sky Full of Holes is just what the world needs in these dark times, summer smiles on a cd. Like their other albums, I will enjoy listening to every song on this album over and over again (i hope it isn't 4 years before the next!)

Since their fine debut back in 1997 each FOW release has shown a growing maturity lyrically amd musically. Four years since the last record 'Traffic & Weather' this new reocrd has been garnering excellent reviews in the UK (always a danger) as this means nobody will buy it. As with all great reords it's all about the songs & melodies which FOW have in abundance. Maybe a bit too American for us this side of the pond - but as a fan since 97 I can recommend this and all their records. BUY WITHOUT HESITATION.
After 3-4 weeks this record gets better, confirmed by one of FOW's best ever songs as the last track 'Cemetery Guns' - a tour de force. No longer just power pop - adult pop.

I almost didn't buy this, even though I've been a fan since the 90's, simply because I found their previous album so dull and uninspired. Read more

Perfect power pop for an unplugged summer
I discovered Fountains of Wayne back in 2003. Their single Stacey's Mom made the UK radio play lists and chart, but beneath this `power pop' hit (a uniquely US genre? Read more
