The vocal style on here is occasionally a little bit too... All Time Low-y for my taste, which I know is a staple of the genre but it's still a little niggle. All the same, Something Blue is a really promising pop-punk EP with interesting songwriting, some genuinely cool guitar work and an overall endearing ambience. 'Suburban Journal of a False Prophet' is a tune in particular, the slightly post-punk darkness setting it apart from the rest somewhat.

Whole album is tight. The drumming is on point, and the vox are headliner quality. I'm not even into pop punk and I'm digging this. I especially liked when the vox hesitate for a beat and let the riff breathe before they come in, like in Belle Blvd.

Found these guys on a bandcamp reddit post, their old stuff is kinda cliche and average but almost
all the tracks on Something Blue are really fuckin cool and have some unique songwriting and
guitar work for the genre. The drums are dope too. I hope the band continues to experiment with
the dynamics they implore on Disappear Here, In Repair, Growing Pains, and Suburban Jounral. Those
tracks have distinct Pop-Punk voice (sorta) but with elements of Post-Hardcore, Emo, and Indie
Rock that makes it cooler than most of the other copy and paste The Story So Far and Fireworks rip
offs in the genre. These guys are kind like if The Wonder Years, Brand New, old (good) Fall Out
Boy, and Thrice had a baby or something. Cool stuff. Belle Blvd. however is a step backwards on
the EP and with it being the second track it sorta interrupts the flow. Belle could be left off
and I think it'd be a very solid and cohesive project. It feels like an All Time Low throwaway
song tbh.

I know two of the guys in the band and I'm super proud of them. Not ever track on here knocks it out of the park but Growing Pains, Disappear Here, and In Repair are stellar. I like Suburban quite a bit and Belle is pretty decent. It's worth giving a shot, it's fun and reminiscent of music you listened to growing up mixedd with some new.

Recorded a podcast I do with these guys last night and they played me the songs from the EP. Great
stuff. I missed the EP stream they did on the 28th and 29th and then took it down. They're some
good dudes coming out of my hometown.

Band from my hometown. I hadn't listened to them before I saw them on Halloween at Fubar with
Listener and Homeless Gospel Choir. They really surprised me so I downloaded their stuff. Loved
Something Blue, To Growing Old not too much except Top of the World since they played it live.
Hopefully their new stuff is more like this.
