This is a fun power pop band in the classic sense, and it’s a four-track EP. “Cheat on Me” reminds me of the Cult, but it’s much better than that. It also evokes images of the Posies. “We Share the Same Skies” does the same thing, but that’s fine. They’ve really caught on to something here. The guitar reminds me of some of Johnny Marr’s work. Oh wait. It is Johnny Marr! Hah. Can you imagine if I didn’t just look at the liner notes just now?
“Victims of Mass Production” is a little more Britpop but falls flat. The passion is missing. “We Were Aborted” is the last track. Now I’m all self-conscious about the review because I realize now the band has my favorite Smith in it. This song has the musical stylings of the Reputation, but obviously with a dude singer. It also reminds me of Franz Ferdinand.
