Power Pop

I'm trying to make sure that all power pop bands listed on the List of power pop musicians have an article.

So far I've written Adventures of Jet, The Bigger Lovers, The Blakes, Blue Cartoon, Adam Daniel, The Heavy Blinkers, Girlpope, The Poppin' Wheelies, Silver Sun and Starbelly.

Articles I've started/written in Wikipedia

Hollywood-inspired names, Jason Falkner, M Alison Atkins

Music

Musicians that sound like they're well worth investigating

• Tom Rush, Mark Bacino, Honeybus, Denison Witmer, The Forresters.

Both Tom Rush and Mark Bacino were found off the back of looking into something else to add to Wikipedia, whereas Honeybus was heard on Stuart Maconie's "Freak Show" on BBC 6Music.
