Well if you are fan of the Ramones or the Beach Boys or both then this is the band for you. Its pretty much your generic Beach-Boy-formula songs, nothing that hasn't been done before. I mean if i really want to listen to the Beach Boys i will put on a actual Beach Boys' album, imitation will always be second best. Though this band does use a trumpet in the solo on the first song, I would really like to see this band do something different and more original with the Beach Boys sound other than just regirgitating it. I think there is alot of potential with that classic 4/4 beat surf song, I mean even the Beach Boys got tired of their stuff and experimented in changing up their sound. If you have ever heard of a band called the Fairlanes (punk rock version of Barber shop quartet type music), then you could say this a watered down version of the Fairlanes. This band is really good at what they do and i am sure it makes their parents happy to play something familiar, but I would rather listen to something with more originality than just a Beach Boys wannabe band.
