With their smart suits and ability to actually play their instruments The Pleasers (Nick Powell, Steve McNerney, Bo Benham & Dave Rotchelle) were at the forefront of the new wave of guitar-based groups that swept through the Britain’s music industry in the late 70’s.They wrote and performed great songs with superb harmonies, jangling guitars and pure sixties drum fills, and their live shows brought back the fashion for being surrounded by cool guy’s wearing thin ties and screaming mini skirted girls. As proud Londoners, the group described their sound as Thamesbeat but you might know it better by the name their music was given by press of the time: Powerpop.

Released in 1996, Thamesbeat compiled the Pleasers singles and the never released album produced by Tommy Boyce of Monkees' fame. The Thamesbeat CD is now really tricky to find (try ebay) or you can grab the newly remastered album in digital format on itunes
