My Thoughts:
It's hard to put my feelings for this band into a legible format, but for me, it sounds a little like what Taking Back Sunday would sound like as twinkly daddies. They're fun, they're emo, and they're catchy, but they put a very original spin on their music. Like many of their contemporaries, their music is pretty messy, but it comes off as far more endearing than many of the same bands. They're a breath of fresh air to the genre. The vocals in particular are among my favorites. Oh, and as to the genres I mention - I'd honestly say they're straight up emo with a few more indie rock influences, but that's what they have on their Bandcamp. You can either download it there for five bucks or use the kindly provided Mediafire link they gave below. But I highly suggest that you pay. It's worth it. Scared Enough is one of my top 10 songs from 2010.
