Self Against City - Telling Secrets to Strangers: Self Against City first caught my eye when I heard the song Speechless, off their first EP. I was a huge fan of this song, and went on to buy the EP which was great. So now they have their first full length, and they are picking up right where they left off, and give Drive Thru Records yet another great pop punk CD. The CD starts off with the track Becoming A Monster - one of my favorite on it, and it also happens to be the single. If you want to get a good vibe on this band, listen to this song, it should be being played all over the radio. The next four tracks are as catchy as the opening, and then it goes into my favorite track on the CD - Disappearing Act. This song makes the album in my opinion, and as if the rest of the CD wouldn't convince you to buy it, this song will. The back half of the CD brings the tempo down with some slower paced songs, still executed with the catchy hooks you expect from a band like this. Lots of people will say they don't do anything different, but let me tell you, they write and perform some of the catchiest pop punk you will hear in a while, and I recommend going and seeing them when they are in your town. Two thumbs up, get this CD.
For fans of Spitalfield or Cartel check this band out: This band is a refreshing burst of originality and sheer talent for the pop punk scene. In a genre that's becoming more and more nit-picked and subcategorized, it's nice to see a band just do what they do and do it well. This band understands the scene and writes songs that hit way too close to home like "Ready and Willing" which describes how band boys will treat girls nice and make them fall in love with them just to screw them over. It's weird that a band can understand this so completely. Their single "Becoming a Monster" is so catchy that it should be illegal. Definitely check this band out. They will be big this year.
DON'T WAIT GET IT NOW!: Don't hesitate or debate whether or not to get this cd. It's one of the best releases of '07! I had gotten it a few weeks before Christmas even though it came out before that and I realized I should have gotten it when it was released. I don't know how I went so long without this cd on my zune. If your still reading this stop and GO BUY THE CD RIGHT NOW!
