Broken Promise Keeper

What They Say...

"Straight-ahead pop rock as addictive as crack."
Mike Baron, Big Hollywood

"Good pop that goes down smooth... a retro-80s power pop sound, bringing to mind Shoes, Let's Active, R.E.M. and adds a level of wit and whimsy to the proceedings."
Absolute Powerpop

"Full of rich effortless hooks... worth the effort to track down and listen to."
Powerpopaholic

"Ice Cold Pop is a startlingly good album... a thick base of sticky melodies, generous harmonies, lyrics seasoned with wit and humor, and just the right amount of crunch with the guitar... one hell of an addictive cocktail."
Bill's Music Forum

"This is required listening in the powerpop universe."
Too Poppy

A New BPK Album!

In July 2010, Broken Promise Keeper released "Poptimized" as the follow-up to his favorably-reviewed 2009 album "Ice Cold Pop." The new CD turns it up to 11 with another batch of wiggly little earworms, but this time featuring even catchier hooks and choruses.

From straight-ahead rockers to three-chord popfests to mid-tempo acoustic numbers, the songs' subject matter ranges from surprisingly mature to downright goofy. But every tune features melody, harmony, and a sense of humor. But don't take it from me, here's what the experts say:

"Poptimized" makes every effort to incorporate all of the criteria that make wonderful and memorable pop... another infectious record by BPK."
Bill's Music Forum

"This is classy and beautifully rendered power pop — the songs are as great as the very best of them, witty, smart, melodic and imbued with pretty twists of melody...an individualistic take on the classic power pop template."
Art Into Dust

"Melodic upbeat pop, catchy and delivered simply... refreshingly unpretentious music created for all the right reasons."

And A Big Thanks...

...to those of you who responded so positively to last year's "Ice Cold Pop." BPK is still in a state of shock that it was rated one of 2009's top powerpop albums. Here's hoping you find "Poptimized" as much fun to listen to as BPK had making it!
