"What's up, bro?"
"Not much."
"Check it, man, I got the new Gameface CD today!"
"Really? Hand it over, bro, I'll put it on."
[hands over CD]
"What the hell is this, Kid with Man Head? This isn't Gameface!"
"Dude, just put it on, trust me."
[puts CD on]
"Wow, that definitely sounds like Jeff's voice. And listen to those stacked Marshall amps blasting out the rock!"
"Totally, bro."
"But it all sounds a little too sloppy and repetitive to be Gameface, ya know."
"That's the beauty of this -- Gameface is *obviously* releasing this under a different band name and making it extra simple and unoriginal to see if people will catch on. I mean, what band would *purposely* rip off Gameface this much? This has to be an inside joke, kind of like Reggie and the Full Effect or something."
"Whatever you say, bro. Now pass me "Every Last Time," would you? I need to rock."

    My Score:

    get a fucking clue...kid with man head has been around for as long as if not longer than game face. kid with man head and game face are both infulenced by big drill car. therein lies the likeness.

    My Score:

    These guys have been around for 13 years...both Gameface and Kid are obviously influenced by the whole Cruz records, All/Big Drill Car thing...but they are most certainly not a GF ripoff band. Get your facts strait, reviewer-guy.

    My Score:

    Solid pop-punk. I can hear the Gameface similarity but to say they rip off the sound is a bit harsh, not to mention the fact that they have been around almost as long as GF has. They should have a new full length out soon as well...

    My Score:

    I dunno... I haven't heard this album yet, but I really liked their older album called Flapjack Hairpiece.

    My Score:

    I saw these guys open for Bad Religon. Totally awful except for a cover of Hotel California. Don't even waste your time on this band.

    well, they score points for having a cool band name
