What’s the 4-1-1?
San Diego group re-releases their 2005 EP (it’s billed as an album, but it only has 8 songs) for their new record label.
Genre
Indie rock / pop-punk / alternative
The Good
Not only are the rhythms of “We’re Sleeping Better Now” infectious, but the chorus is very catchy. “Breakers & Bunsen Burners” employs simple repetitive riffs to create a quite memorable song. The vocals are delivered in that new-punk/emo kind of style, but they don’t come off as whiney. Meaty bass lines run rough-shot over “A Brighter Green”. The song is a mellow inspirational track. Driving riffs dominate the urgency that’s induced by “Mayday.” Clean guitar chords and dual vocal harmonies command “Wild Nights & the Aftermath.”
The Bad
Nothing notable
The Verdict
If the hooks don’t grab you, than the lyrical phrases will.
