The
words pop punk can be overused, but there really isn’t a more fitting way to
describe Sorority Noise. The first
track of these four songs just feels so boring, with the band seemingly just
going through the motions.
From
there, the band churns out three remaining songs (Though the last two sound
similar to me)that have a little bit more of that Modern Baseball style, but
are still pop punk at their core. The
lyrics are so generic and unoriginal that it makes me embarrassed to be
listening to it.
There
exists a certain simplicity, a certain straight forwardness that can come in
some great lyrics, such as those of a folk punk band, as Sledding With Tigers
immediately comes to mind. But this is
no Sledding With Tigers in the sense that rather than feeling genuine these
lyrics just feel like they were written by a twelve year old.
I
obviously haven’t read any background info on this band (ignorance is bliss and
all that) but they do sound very much like a high school pop punk band. If they are in fact still high school age,
then they are doing okay and can only improve with time perchance. But if they are looking at those late teens
in the rearview mirror it’s an entirely different story.
