From late 2015, please enjoy the pride of Denton, TX -- The Speedlights -- and the lead-off track from their quite fabulous eponymous EP "I'm Still Waiting."
As you can hear, these guys are mining the vein that includes Raspberries-style power pop, early New Wave and punk, and -- most specifically, I think -- the Mod Revival bands of the late '70s. However you describe it, however, their music is just infectious as hell, and what I really like about the band is that -- to paraphrase Waylon Jennings -- these guys couldn't be slick if you poured a can of motor oil down their throat.
Great stuff, in other words.
You can -- and should -- stream/download/buy a physical copy of the CD over at the link HERE.
You're welcome.

You are such a sucker for the Rickenbacker. LOL. Not bad. Doesn't really grab me.
First impression: Inadequate. Impotent. Is it in yet?
VR - gimme some danger
I think it's the vocals. But I think they have potential!

The drummer sings 'Amy (Tonight)' which is the one that's most Raspberries sounding if y'all want to to check that one out.

Yes, upbeat, infectious in a happy-go-lucky, Cheap Trick way. Love the energy of those vocals, with that music.
Works for me.
