[New Jersey]
I was really sad when this band started, emo as all get out. But suddenly I was
converted by the small big-nosed guitarist with his black shirt billowing
behind him. How could I have missed it?! They were punk pop – totally
different. Good energy – sped up Weezer. Their friend from Homeless Gospel
Choir (?) came up to do a cover of a Jawbreaker (? – maybe heard of them) song
with them: “One. Two. Three. Four. Who's punk - what's the score?” Then one of
the band’s own songs (“this will make your eyes bleed”) veered way too close to
a Deftones sound – I don’t hate The Deftones but I don’t need to hear current
bands apeing them. Their youtube videos had a similarly irritating sensibility
– lots of cliché symbols of how tormented & hard they are. They were good
live, at least to this music-starved girl.
