Epiphany Testimonials:
"This is what the Beatles would have sounded like if they had stayed together for 5 more years and had a different producer. This is rich, textural music that feels good to listen to and I love it!"
-Senior Product Manager, Microsoft Windows
"I think the [Pop Is Art] CD is really good, and unlike a lot of stuff that's coming out of today's pop underground because [Scotts] sound retains the kind of style and infectiousness that was in existence on a lot of those great late '70s albums."
-David Bash: Founder/CEO International Pop Overthrow
One of the best things I've heard in a LONG TIME! ....a GEM!
-Steve Turnidge; Ultraviolet Studios
"Scott has a command of the pop idiom like few others. He seems to swallow records whole, let them mix around in his system, and spit out completely fresh interpretations of classic pop elements. Whether as a singer, songwriter, producer or instrumentalist, his control of the art at the heart of the music is masterful."
-Clay Farmer (Producer, A&R Imago records)
Pop Is Art is going to set the power pop world afire! this is about as classic of indie power pop as you are going to find
-Bruce Brodeen: Not Lame Recordings
I'm going to say, here and now, even before you've dotted the "i" and crossed the "t" in "Hit" that this is going to be one of the biggest pop releases of the year... a masterpiece! .... not to mention an album's worth of simply superb songs that must be heard. Bravo!

PoP Is ArT
To begin to explain the concept of PoP Is ArT, we must first look at the man
behind the vision. Scott McGinley is a seasoned veteran of the music business.
He's worked his way up from the Philadelphia/ Jersey shore club scene to the
world class recording studios of L.A. and New York. His recordings have
literally led him around the world and back again.
International chart success, MTV appearances, and stadium concerts were par for
the course when Scott suddenly found himself having to make a decision. Should
he stick with his record company's formula for success (which was, in fact,
working), or try to find a way to be true to his art and not be limited by the
increasing restrictions that were placed on his songwriting and performances? It
seemed the more outward success he enjoyed (four top ten singles and three top
ten MTV videos across Asia), the more he felt the need to expand his horizons as a
songwriter and performer. But record companies are not known for their interest
in experimenting, especially when something's working, and particularly in the
pop-rock Top-40 world where Scott was enjoying success.
*****
And that leads us to PoP Is ArT. Unlike the other bands Scott formed and led to
success (Bliss, New Religion), PoP Is ArT is not a specific product to be
marketed, but an ongoing experiment and process to be watched, listened to, and
experienced. This will be the single outlet for all of Scott's new music which
will encompass everything from funk and r'n'b to pop and rock and from classical
to new age. The goal being to write, produce, and record the whole range of
ideas in his mind and to present them to the world. Recordings of some
of his latest songs are already finished and available in the Philadelphia area
(and through both www.POPisART.com and prestigious web-stores such as
NOTLAME.COM) under the names "The Insiders-All Mixed Up" and
"Pop Is Art-In the Beginning", both on the PoP Is ArT label.
Much more is on the way. Scott, who has worked with the likes of producer Keith
Olsen (Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner, Pat Benatar), and musicians Jason
Scheff (Chicago) and Alex Ligertwood (Santana), is comfortable both in front of,
and behind the mixing board. Recording at his home in Collegeville, PA, Scott is
finally free to pursue his full range of ideas. This is good news not just for
fans of his past projects, but for everyone who wants to see the business of
music return to where it should be ...
