There must be hundreds of bands in the USA making this sort of alternative / punk music providing fodder for the mosh pits with their driving rhythms and chirpy "humorous" lyrics. If I tell you that there are songs called "Cock Roach", "I'm the Biggest Hypocrite I Know" and "Email Stinks", you'll understand that they engage in the kind of wise cracking lyrics that Relient K have turned into a career. Unfortunately, there isn't enough originality to make this Texan trio stand out from the crowds of other bands penning songs for high schoolers to giggle at. This is dull and formulaic.

There's enough "originality" that they received 3 label
offers, did 2 national tours and have been picked up by more
than 100 radio stations. They are a little edgier and
harder than Reliant K. Not a good comparison. They refuse
to "pop" up their songs to satisfy formulaic labels.
