Why do these people (read: Ryan Becker,
Tony Ferraro and Grady Sandlin) keep playing in bands together? This
EP is just proof that they have gotten too comfortable together
(read: lazy). It's so simple, sweet and straightforward that it
crosses right over into boring. The music sounds like filler used to
kill time while people tune on-stage. And nothing against vocalist
Amanda Newton (read: I hate you), but couldn't they have at least
tried to find someone that wasn't just already sitting around with
them. Maybe someone with a bit more punch to lively things up. I know
that she wrote the lyrics, but she could have handed them over to New
Science Projects' Dale Jones. I know the guys have played with him
before. Not that it would have made the songs any better, but it
might have at least been more interesting. Maybe they'll do better
next time.
Nope, they didn't. If your own songs
are boring, what should you do? Release a cover from a band that
sounds painfully similar to you and back it with an audio experiment
that sounds like a four year old made it on their Speak & Spell?
No. That's the opposite of what you should do. The silver lining in
this waste of plastic is that it seems Amanda has run out of things
to say and this will be the last we hear from them. M̶a̶y̶b̶e̶
̶t̶h̶e̶y̶'̶l̶l̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶n̶e̶x̶t̶
̶t̶i̶m̶e̶.̶ Maybe they'll kill themselves.
