The thick, clotted guitars and bubblegum smarts throughout often bring to mind their elder labelmates, the Queers, while the quick-stop dynamics, escalating guitar lines, and earnest sentiments of \"Stars Over Boulder\" evoke Jimmy Eat World. And there is certainly a host of points of reference to Blink-182, including the adolescent vocal approach and rich guitars of \"Try and Catch Me\" or the brokenhearted skate-kid sentiments of \"Tattoo Broken Hearts.\" What separates these Pennsylvanians from the pack, however (and they sure sound like a SoCal band), is that they happen to be really good at aping successful punk-pop gestures of yore -- and they've written a batch of fine originals to back up those dynamics that shows a real melodic, hooky touch. Once one gets past train-spotting the various groups who sound like this, the album is a lot of fun. ~ Erik Hage","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42008849645733,"sku":"731628763175","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/products\/c9c5ea5e33f535457aa527236ab21810.jpg?v=1678427012","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-de\/products\/keystone","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
