Jody Has a Hitlist - Jody Has a Hitlist
Record Label: None
Release Date: 2009
Who?
A three song EP from a pop punk band hailing from the Emerald Isle, Ireland.
How is it?
Three songs certainly aren't enough to make much of an impression, but Jody Has a Hitlist do their best to overcome that setback. In order to make a lasting impression, Jody Has a Hitlist present their listeners with a fairly memorable release in terms of hooks. None of the other two songs are nearly as catchy as the closer, "Just Over A Year." While Jody Has a Hitlist aren't breaking any new ground lyrically, they at least inject wittiness into their lyrics. The vocals are another strong point. McAlister doesn't sound exactly like every other singer in the genre. He has a surprisingly powerful voice that reminds me quite a bit of School Boy Humor.
While the EP isn't overly impressive, it certainly does an excellent job giving the band something to draw in potential fans with. I would keep a close eye on this band. Jody Has a Hitlist certainly have the foundation to build upon, and with a longer release, they could really begin to grab the attention of plenty of listeners.
Every Avenue; School Boy Humor; Secret Lives! of the Freemasons; You Me At Six; bands from Ireland not named U2
