5/10
Cool. Who doesn’t love unoriginal, melancholy, pop-emo college rock? It’s complete with a few spacey synthesizer sounds, whiney guitar riffs, lackluster drums, and that’s about it. Admittedly, vocalist Drew Duddly – in addition to being a total dreamboat – has a nice pair of lungs, but they don’t pull this band out of the depths of mediocrity. Think the older and more mature cousins of Fall Out Boy, yet you’re still impressed more by Fall Out Boy’s lyrical ability and catchiness.
