Good poppy sing-along post-hardcore goodness characterizes the new release by The Kinison. It's filled with hooks and inspiring melodies that defy you to not nod your head along with the songs and, yes, the occasional fist shaking.

The songs build from clever verses into powerful choruses. The strongest example is the song The Way I Used to Be, and the weakest has to be Sorry, I'm a Pushover, but even the smallest hooks tend to be more powerful than most bands could crap out on a good day.

This EP, out on Fearless Records, is merely a teaser of something better to come. Listen and wait; there's more on the way!

Buy it from Fearless Records!
