Way too many mediocre punk-rock/screamo songs, which would best be used as background music at one of those really hip parties that you’re not invited to.
If I have to listen to one more “Punk Rock Sampler” as punk as Christina Aguilera and Backstreet Boys, I will rip out every hair on my head, very slowly.
Released in ’97, Law of Inertia decided to remaster and re-release it ’cause they didn’t think it got the recognition it deserved. Maybe there was a reason…
The Format specialize in ’80s acoustic-y light pop-rock, and songs often include sleigh bells, a banjo, a mellotron, and a wurly (what the hell is a wurly?).
They don’t bring anything new to the genre that they’re so clearly trying to fit into, and they don’t even excel at doing basic poppy-punk, which isn’t hard.
