Pretty New Things (Good Charamel)
by Scott Hefflon

They’re from Buffalo, NY, same as The Goo Goo Dolls, they’re on the Goo’s label, Good Charamel, and Pretty New Things was produced by Dolls bassist Robby Takac. They opened for The Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crowes over the summer, they’ve opened for The All-American Rejects and Bon Jovi, and they do a lot of those shows for high schools to raise awareness and money and stuff so kids can have music programs in their schools (a damn fine cause). Almost half the songs are delicate and tender (slow and sappy), but just over half are good ol’ pop rock.
