The Pulltops release “With You”

Based out of Milwaukee, the duo The Pulltops crafts their own distinctive blend of indie rock and power pop. Formed by drummer Mark Pierret and guitarist Tom Crowell, the pair draw on not just their musical chemistry but also their diverse backgrounds and influences. Mark, an avid record collector with a penchant for old country and soul music and Tom, whose musical roots stem from the experimental and underground scene, might seem like an unlikely pairing. However, their shared love for pop music and a mutual appreciation for strong hooks provided the common ground upon which their artistic collaboration would blossom.

Throughout their career, The Pulltops have blended the timeless charm of classic pop with the dynamic energy of indie rock. Their songs, rich with infectious melodies and ear-worm hooks, have consistently delivered a sonic experience that resonates with a wide range of music enthusiasts.

With an impressive track record of releasing six singles in a single year, The Pulltops have consistently stoked their sonic output with their unrelenting creative drive. Their latest offering, “With You,” sees the duo embrace a retro synth aesthetic that harkens back to the vibrant sounds of the 80s.

The opening moments of the track transport listeners to a different era, via a fusion of synth tones that pulse and pluck, creating an immersive setting. It’s a nod to the synth-driven soundscape that defined a unique musical epoch and The Pulltops perfectly distil its essence in their own original way.

As the vocals gracefully enter, they thread alluring melodic leads that hover above the synths, serving as the guiding force, leading us on a journey through the lush, nostalgia-laden soundscape they’ve created. But it’s the chorus that truly takes flight as the drums come alive with the bold and anthemic Phil Collins-esque sound.

This energy infuses the track with a sense of euphoria that’s impossible to resist. The hooks embedded in the chorus are instantly catchy, furnishing the song with memorable quality. It’s yet another superb offering from a talented pair of songwriters and performers who promise more new music before the end of the year.
