Perth Power poppers Rinehearts are back with their latest release, the excellent LP Full Bloom. Full of amazing pop songs, it is a great mixed bag of lollies, with a assortment of some loud stuff and some softer more caring tunes. Produced by Dom Mariani, the recording is top notch, with some of the most beautiful backing vocals put to tape. Instruments such as keyboard come and go, and it really is a master collaboration between a great producer and a band in full flight. We spoke with Singer songwriter Benny J Ward about the new record, as well as his solo recording and working with Dom. Benny: the band I spent most of my 20s in was more power pop/rock n roll, with a pinch of punk. When they finished up, I wanted to do some faster stuff. But its also got to do with other people’s tastes as well. If I’m prudently starting the ideas, maybe they generate from a certain field, but it all comes together from other people as well.
