I have a half dozen bands in the "for fans of" section for these folks which is a pretty good indicator that I really like an album! To boil it down: In spite of being on the opposite side of the country, they feel like a perfect-fit La Escalera Records band. While they're certainly a pop punk band that thrives on soaring harmonies and hooky choruses, there's always a little dirt over the top of everything that reminds me a lot of LE alums Squarecrow and Problem Daughter. Then they go and throw in a little pinch of a MCR or P!ATD flair in there to really top it all off. All the more impressive is that the entire EP is self-recorded and self-produced! I really love this album, and given it's part of a planned trilogy (the ACR Cinematic Universe has started strong) you can rest assured I'm eagerly looking forward to the next one (hopefully soon given they're about to start recording it)!
