Hot Rod Circuit

If I Knew What I Knew Then (Triple Crown)
by Tim Den

Hot Rod Circuit plays upbeat emo not unlike The Juliana Theory, except better. I guess that’s good, considering most emo bands all sound alike. High arpeggios, sliding octaves, singing like the guy from Knapsack… you get the picture. It’s emo, it’s upbeat, it’s stuff to win over crowds in college towns. No messing around with the formula here; just playing it the way it was meant to be played. This is for all of you who love sensitive rock and sleeve photos of band members with no heads.
