Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2002-11-25
Pop punk, more along the retro lines of The Clash, Stranglers, Kinks than say more contemporary Green Day school. Guit/bass/drums/male vocs and a dash of keys. As the cd progresses songs get rather slick and hyper melodic, not so charming, more like the Romantics, but not bad of course. Overall, retro pop punk bordering on the 70’s and LA early 80’s. All songs brief, upbeat.

1) driving, dirtier
2) clash aspect appears, melodic
3) poppy garagy, almost jangly
4) poppy almost wimpy jangly
5) more Romantics feel
6) similar to previous
7) upbeat driving
8) mellower, vocal centric pop punk ballad-like
9) punkier, rockin, good chorus hook
10) mid paced, power chord driven
11) pounding rhythm, slick poppy
12) hard driving
13) slam on scientology
14) harder driving organ lead
15) upbeat rockin
