Pop Goodness

Not sure what it was about this style of music that grabbed me right away. They have a strong and similar sound to Panic! At The Disco on many of the tracks. Unlike Panic!, whose younger sound took a bit to grow on me. This band comes across more mature in their approach in writing pop songs, giving that bit of edge that grabs the slightly older fans [and obviously this somewhat older music fan]. It might be songs like “Lisa Baby” and “Anna Sun” that had the hooks and movements that did it. But for sure, the infectious “Next In Line” had more of a solid feel, throwing some emo-like guitar riffs to complete the track.

If you need another album of new sounds with a bit of difference than the norm, check out Walk The Moon. It’s found it’s place on my playlist for a while.
