Editorial review
Fronted by power pop fanatic Gregg Potter, Philadelphia's Blank Pages are steeped in the sweet hooks and harmonies of the Raspberries and Badfinger, while incorporating the occasional punch of the Knack on their delightful second album 45 and 33. With a succinct, sugary shot, "1983" gets things started by paying homage to Paul McCartney's long-forgotten Tug of War album before the men of Blank Pages move on to pay tribute to their beloved vinyl records on the title cut, which finds Potter sounding vocally like a dead ringer for XTC's Andy Partridge. With rollicking, superb numbers like "Something Made Me Think of You Tonight" and "More Than a Million Times," the trio blends blissful harmonies with an undying love for Anglo-pop songcraft that sustains through all 13 tracks here -- save for the monotonous, jazz-rocker "Packing Boxes." Coupled with the powerful studio hands of the Greenberry Woods boardsman Drew Mazurek, Blank Pages find themselves full of musical ideas on this largely awe-inspiring disc. ~ John D.

Bio / Background
BLANK PAGES
FDR and Jam Records is pleased to announce the return of Blank Pages with the release of 45 & 33, the follow-up to the band's 2000 debut, Funny Pages (also available from FDR).
Songwriter and pop fanatic Greg Potter continues to offer sweet melodies and catchy hooks in the style of classic power pop acts like Badfinger, The Raspberries and the Knack. For their sophomore effort, Blank Pages teamed up with Drew Mazurek (Greenberry Woods, Love Nut) in Baltimore, in search of a bigger sound. . "Going into the recording of 45 & 33 we were looking for something like Matthew Sweet fronting Superdrag," Potter offered enthusiastically. So Blank Pages turned up the volume and added some more power to their pop.
Blank Pages has been performing their unique brand of power pop for nearly ten years. In addition to their two releases on FDR, the band has also appeared on the label's successful Replacements tribute, Left of the Dial (contributing "Nevermind".
