"It's Greg Pope's power pop world, and we're all just living in it. That's the only conclusion to be made after he's followed up last year's Absolute Powerpop 1-rated album Popmonster with this brilliant 7-song EP. Pope's sound is a compendium of power pop through the ages - from British Invasion to the "mod" sound of The Who to straight-up 70s styled Badfinger/Raspberries pop to the today's modern power pop. The seven tracks here clock in just under 18 minutes, with "Fall Into Your Arms" a blast of an opener like Popmonster's "Sky Burn Down", while the slinky "How Do You Do It" has a....oh hell, all 7 tracks are great, just go listen to them below for yourself."

"As much as I loved Regrets of a Company Man a few years ago, this album is even better. In fact, this is outstanding power pop that blows the doors off most other bands out there. ... it's an amazing “pop monster” of an album....gets a Top Ten of 2008 nod."

Edmund's Crown, is a Nashville based powerpop trio featuring singer/songwriter Greg Pope on guitar, Jon Putnam on bass, and David Sprouse on drums. The band has landed tracks on several TV shows including Dawson's Creek, America's Next Top Model, and NBC's Providence, and on radio stations from Nashville to San Francisco.
"Greg Pope has a knack for writing the kind of infectious hook-laden ear candy that goes down easily and lasts long after the disc has stopped spinning these three-to-four minute gems."
-Gary Glauber, Fufkin.com, PopMatters.com
"Rocking but not overbearing, catchy but not saccharine, and literate but not pretentious, Regrets of a Company Man is a high quality power pop disc that will undoubtedly contend for my year-end top 20"

Oh, man, that's a shame! I was really looking forward to seeing you in concert. Anyway, the next time you do come up to New York, please keep me posted. And hey, let me try again with the "thank you" image...seems like it got deleted:
This is an amazing coincidence: I befriended you through a mutual virtual acquaintance, and then about a day later, I find out we're both playing at the International Pop Overthrow in New York on November 8th! Wild, huh? Well, 'til then!
