Maybe this is not a popular style, but this is pure heaven to my ears and everybody needs to relax sometimes. Do you know more bands making pure WestCoast/AOR music in the 21Th century?. Mine are: - Bad Sneakers: Never released the album but I have some demos. Great band from Sweden (Malmo) and very young musicians. Bad Sneakers - State Cows: Delicious. They are are from Sweden and working in a new album. Will be release in spring 2013. State Cows - Mandoo: This time a band from France. PURE WestCoast for lovers of Chicago, Bill Labounty, etc... Their CD is in heavy rotation in my car for two weeks.

I haven't really bought newer WEC stuff, as I find it always less inspiring than the originals. I mean, not many things can beat Bill LaBounty's self-titled and The Right Direction album (not even him! :-)).

I always go back to Steely Dan, Nielsen/Pearson, Bill LaBounty, Jay Graydon, Marc Jordan, Dwayne Ford and the likes. Not big on Robbie Dupree though.

Will check all bands listed above though. Would be nice to hear some new stuff.

Most recent album I really LOVED - not sure it is WEC though - was David Mader's 90 Days Of Rain.

Scene 29 is an excellent disc. Highly recommend.

Donald Fagen's new one, Sunken Condos, is excellent as well.
