Purveyors of high energy pop rock, this Wisconsin-based band have started to pick up plenty of interest in the USA and at the time of writing are busy touring with Remedy Drive. The indie band create plenty of attitude and noise and yet manage to maintain plenty of pop sensibilities with catchy hooks. At their best on songs like "Your Love Is Like A Rock" and "Come Into My Atmosphere", they remind me a little of Family Force Five. But then on some of the songs like "The Invitation" and "Perfect World" they slip back into sounding more ordinary, which is a shame because there are glimpses of this band developing into something extraordinary. Oh yeah, and who doesn't want to hear a song called "The Christian Sex Anthem"? This debut sees them putting a toe in the water and introduces us to a band who with the right support could really go places.
