Highly charged close harmonies are supported by muscular, no-frills backing that is catchy without making any obvious concessions to crass commercialism. Each of the disc&#8217;s twelve tracks \u2013 eleven originals and a soaring remake of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2011\/06\/29\/two-years-of-musoscribe-the-beatles\/\">The Beatles<\/a><\/strong>&#8216; \u201cTomorrow Never Knows\u201d \u2013 packs enough variety into its grooves to keep things musically interesting, yet the songs are all built around strong hooks designed to ensnare themselves in listeners&#8217; minds. <i>Are We There Yet?<\/i> deftly balances heaviness with a broad-grin power pop aesthetic. Even when they slightly slow the tempo (as on the melancholy \u201cUnmotivated\u201d), the energy never flags. The album is a welcome reminder how how much can be accomplished with guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, and without keyboards and fancy production trickery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File Next to: Greenberry Woods, Foo Fighters, Green Day Big, roaring guitars that recalls Foo Fighters as much as Cheap Trick are the calling card of the supremely melodic sophomore [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10068,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,55,62,65],"tags":[2606],"class_list":["post-10067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-release","category-powerpop","category-rawk","category-review","tag-turnback","cat-49-id","cat-55-id","cat-62-id","cat-65-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10067"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10265,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10067\/revisions\/10265"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
