An original music veteran of early 60's rock influences, the legendary alternative pop composer and active voting member of the Recording Academy-(NARAS), Bill Popp, in the classic tradition of The Beatles, REM, and XTC, delivers melodic hooks, combined with dance grooves and poetic, infectious punk. Drunk with harmony, his clever lyrics for the broken hearted, and his passionate piano phrasing hold a timeless hold on the hearts of his fans.
Their new CD, 25x30, released in March, 2011, is available online from CD Baby or iTunes.

..."If you were to believe the press, the CB's scene was made up of a handful of bands - but that just wasn't true.
There were all kinds of musical styles being represented... and one could even claim that the SHIRTS were the precursors to the musical RENT."
- David Byrne
* Bill Popp and the Tapes *
And Bill will be your Master of Ceremonies
* Sea Monster *
"Perpetual outsiders, a band made up of hard working, hard living guys -- what rock n' roll musicians should be."
--The New York Times
