What
begins with an acoustic guitar and vocals quickly becomes a full onslaught of a
band with vocals. For some reason, the
first name that pops into my head when I hear this is Chris Cappello, though
there are also hints of The Early November and on one song it’s even got that “American
Idiot” ballad/anthem feel to it.
This
is somewhere between pop punk and emo at its roots, yet it also has that teenage
angst that has fueled so many musical revolutions and other such movements as
well. As someone who looks back at their teens not
fondly, I can appreciate what this is about from a nostalgic standpoint, but
then those who are actually this age should be able to appreciate it as being
from their point of view.
Songs
about heartbreak will never get old, even if you find love, and as such songs
about being young and angry will never tire for me, even if I am older now and
less angry than I was back then. I also
really do enjoy the shoutouts to Larry the Cat.
