Call it peppy pop or punkpop or melodic-laden whoa-whoa punk or whatever, just get it, groove on it, and realize that a lot of bands still have a lot to learn.
There’s a British thing here, kinda like Siouxsie, The Cure, and The Police. But there’s also something sunny California in the vocals. More dippy than dreary.
These guys, Days of the New, Lifehouse and all them, ya gotta appreciate what they’re good at, but let ’em know there’s still a lot of room for gettin’ better.
