It All Starts Here is prototypical pop punk.
When I say that I mean that it feels exactly how pop
punk is supposed to feel. Instruments are played hard, but the sense of fun
keeps things from getting too aggressive (the band also refers to itself as
easycore), and yet there is consciousness enough to keep things from going
inane. Altogether it makes for satisfying listening.
Their 2014 EP, Everything Will Come to an End,
displays a good balance. Starting with an instrumental track and closing on
their most downbeat song, "Gilded Smiles", it peaks in the middle
with the pounding drums and groove of "Karma's a Bitch".
Filling in around that are more traditional songs. Even
with that, check out the intro to "The Only B Word". It feels unique.
On the other hand, "Hilltops" uses many familiar elements, but is
probably my favorite, and is one I could listen to over and over again.
Everything Will Come to an End is a strong offering from this San Diego band. I hope they
keep at it.
