Screamfeeder is an endlessly inventive purveyor of chiming, memorable pop rock. With its self-knowing title, <i>Pop Guilt<\/i> is a collection of hook-laded gems that are far more sophisticated and ambitious than might initially seem the case.

And as effective as Tim Steward&#8217;s lead vocals are, it&#8217;s the winning pipes of Kellie Lloyd (with Steward providing ace harmonies) that serve as the band&#8217;s not-so-secret secret weapon on tracks like \u201cAll Over it Again.\u201d There&#8217;s a refreshing variety within the context of <i>Pop Guilt<\/i>&#8216;s straightforward, uptempo pop melodies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: Belly, Hoodoo Gurus While the name of this Australian quartet might suggest something bratty and noisy, the truth lies elsewhere.
