I’ve played this album a few times now, and although I have tried really hard to get one name out of my head and expand upon it, I have failed. So, if you like Blink 182 then you’ll really enjoy this one. Yes, there are bits and pieces that sound more like the mighty Bowling For Soup (one of the best live bands I have ever seen, twice!), others which could possibly said to be influenced by Green Day, but to be honest here is a band that has taken the playbook developed by Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker and delivered with so much passion on ‘Enema of the State’ (that album is 20 years old next year, can you believe it?), and run with the pop-punk style.

Like much music of this style, it is throwaway punk with little in the way of depth, but no-one can doubt that there are plenty of hooks and even though I tried hard not to like this I did find myself singing along with some of the really annoyingly catchy choruses. Somewhere this is being played on a radio station, I just know it. Not the sort of thing I would listen to out of choice, but there is no doubt they know their target market and have hit a bullseye.
