Not just a kid band
I discovered this band through my 13 year old daughter and I can tell you that this band has a lot more depth and talent than many of those out there. To call it a "boy band", "emo" or "alternative" really does this band a disservice. I think I like them better than my daughter which may be why they haven't hit the big time yet. Maybe they are targeting the wrong people! After all, I want new music too and I am NOT cnotent to listen to re-releases of popular 80s songs performed by a bunch of has-beens in depends. This band actually has talent and they aren't afraid to experiment with it. When I listen to it I am reminded of the Outfield from the 80s, except with the talent of early U2. If they keep going the direction they are now they probably won't make it "big" as fast as some of these other kid bands which is fine by me. Hopefully they'll avoid that path and continue developing their skills and talents into the far future. After all, it took U2 10 years and 5 albums to get something in the number one spot. Either way, I almost never write reviews but this one was worth me taking the time to actually sit here and write this. If you are over 30 and have been longing for a new band with talent, a good melody, and that feel generated by the Outfield and other similar bands you'll be thrilled with this CD.
