hey u remember shanea joe n brittany? wichita ks

I dont hear this Get Up Kids comparison at all, man. Have you listened to more than 20 bands in your life? I think comparing them to Glassjaw, TGUK, Jimmy Eat World, or Vagrant & Drive-Thru bands is just plain lazy journalism.
With that said, this is a band still growing and evolving into their sound. This isn't a perfect album. However, their song structures are much more complicated that past recordings, and that honestly speaks to the individual talents of the band.
Be patient with these guys. It will be worth it.

My Score:

1) Maryland does not have a scene at all..

2)I know all the members personally and impersonally.. and to say they have rockstar attitudes makes me laugh.

.... from that notion you all have your heads up your arses.

3) Learn to enjoy and embrace good music.

The Hourglass Demo was pretty tight. So is Dtown

My band played with them a year ago at Junior High BOTB?

Even though they played well.. they have a douchebag guitarist who's been in some shitty bands that acts like he's the hugest rockstar ever.

Oh yeah. They played a gig for a bunch of 12 year olds.
My band did too but hey we sucked.

some of the honest to god nicest guys I know, you only wish you knew them enough to call them assholes. pathetic.

My Score:

this sucks

backupdork should be hit by a fucking bus christmas morning on the way to visit family for even mentioning downtown singapore and glassjaw in the same sentence. what the fuck dude. this doesnt touch glassjaw in the slightest.

this band sucks ass, completely bland sound and the singer can't sing for shit. they will always have that "local band" sound to them because of that, which is why i cannot understand how they got signed at all.

no good bands will ever come out of waldorf.

these dudes are total poser assholes. they are indeed phony. their music is trite and bland. whats worse is that they THINK they are very artistic and dont even understand how lame they are. it wouldnt be so bad if they didnt have their terrible rock star attitudes, but they do. they also talk about how the dc/maryland scene played a roll in their sound because the scene is non-existant so they had to go and find their own. They really believe this. Id much rather listen to a band poorly copying the dc sound than a band sucking the cock of every band and vagrant and drive thru. Not screaming hardly makes you creative or your music instantly tasteful. if i were them i would just quit.

live they sounded a lot like Worship and Tribute era glassjaw. i thought they seemed pretty phony, but i was into the glassjaw sound.

Their website is nicely laid out.

these guys were really good live with fall river, folly, latterman, the jonbenet, and american black lung.

Kid can't sing for shit.

"clouded worse"?

"I do remain in thought"?

Some of this was really awkwardly written.

you guys really have no place at all reviewing music in general, you are complete idiots and thrive upon picking apart artists albums solely based on what the latest trends in the music scene are."I could heave praise at the band simply for not screaming, but that's a choice many acts are seemingly starting to wise up on as of late (for the most part, anyway)". give me a break. maybe you're too 'scene smart' for your own good and cant look past any preconcieved notion that anything sounding remotely like anything else is passed off as garbage, start listening to music for what it is. music. stick to the news.

we sail tonight for singapore

we're all as mad as hatters here.
