Pop punk is one of those genres that I always find myself going back to. Whenever I am feeling a little down, pop punk is there to remind me of my teenage years in the 90's. What makes pop punk even better? When you actually listen to it in the summer. This was no exception here.

At first I was skeptical of this band. The cover art and cd the rest of the case made it seem like it was going to be pretty bad. Even the song names made me think of a different genre. I put this is on in my car on my way to work. Its infectious happiness and catchy riffs instantly brightened my day. It was a very nice surprise to have such an awesome record to review. The first thing I thought was I put an old FenixTX record in that I had never heard. I was reminded of a time when pop punk was catchy and upbeat.

The songs are extremely well written for this genre. This album was a home run. The songs were super catchy and made you want to dance along. The vocals were sung just right to perfectly compliment the music. The album starts extremely solid with an upbeat song. There is not a single bad song on here a few filler songs but even those were awesome.

Overall I would say this is one of the best pop punk albums to come out in years. For anyone looking for some excellent pop punk or a blast from the past I would say check these guys out. Its wonderful to hear this style still being played and still being played amazingly well.
