On May 30, 2025, The Airport 77s released their third album, "Don't Let Go".
Washington, D.C., is best known as the home of hardcore, go-go and hot-rodded roots rock, but the Airport 77s carry the torch for one of their hometown’s less celebrated musical legacies: power pop.
For their third record, guitarist Andy Sullivan and drummer John Kelly enlisted one of the city’s power pop legends: bassist Cal Everett, best known as the lead vocalist for 4 Out of 5 Doctors, who released two LPs on CBS Records in the 1980s.
Their new album is on CD and vinyl from Jem Records.
Everett’s McCartney-esque playing anchors a set of songs that draw on outlaw ballads, teenage journal scribbles, lounge pop, doomy psychedelia and arena rock bombast while remaining anchored in the good-natured melodic rock that defined their self-released EP “Rotation” in 2021 and their 2022 JEM Records release “We Realize You Have a Choice.”
