By Alan Haber – Pure Pop Radio 
The Bayonets’ Brian Ray, who you may well know from playing in Sir Paul McCartney’s band for so many years, appeared on Pure Pop Radio: In Conversation this past May 9 to talk about the expanded edition of the band’s album Crash Boom Bang! on JEM Records.
Brian and Oliver Lieber, son of rock royalty classic songwriter Jerry Lieber (of Lieber and Stoller fame), have fashioned a pop album for the ages. It pops, it rocks, and it thrills!
During this lively program, Brian talks about how he met Oliver and decided to form The Bayonets. Brian also waxes poetic about songwriting and, in particular, lyric writing. Two songs from Crash Boom Bang! were played: “Sucker for Love,” and the Rolling Stones-y slow burner, “Cotton Candy.”
