It truly amazes me how many bands can sound exactly like this and get away with such blatant plagiarism. Imagine if the music industry had the same zealous infatuation with catchy copycats as university’s do with college term paper-writing or hell the RIAA’s infamous prosecution of underage music pirates. That said, one can’t help but believe in such infectious melodies as Artist vs. Poet. Sure they could be on a dozen movie soundtracks starring Justin Long or Sean William Scott but who gives a damn. This is fun mall-punk rich in everything that producer Mike Green (Paramore, Danger Radio, The Higher) can pour into this quick up-tempo self-titled EP. You’ll hear way more on Fuse and see way more throughout their planned tour of the Spring of ’09.

No it’s not the Hanson Brothers as you adoringly know them. Or hopefully woefully scorn. This is the punk version. Canadian brand punk/hardcore rock that exists well outside of even the mainstream underground scene. It’s a shame that it totally blows ass chunks and is not worth even a drunken listen let alone a sober one. Yawn city.
