Naturally, by having two siblings among its members (Tom & Ethan Carroll, joined by Sam Festenstein and Cameron Baker) and by naming their debut single Family Tree, Captain Starlet (UK) already obtained goodwill points with this blog run by two brothers. The true reason we are writing about Captain Starlet though, is the sheer quality of underground power pop/britpop songs on their two song cassingle – out March 3 through Safe Suburban Home Records. Family Tree is a massive hit that channels (but not copies) the harmonies and sugary punch of Teenage Fanclub. Love Is A Petal sounds like it’s transported from 00’s and has hints of The Strokes and Bishop Allen.
