handguns is 500x's better than man overboard and transit...you also should've probably concentrated a little more on the album and compared it to their first instead of saying how tight-knit they are...cuz MOST bands that start up and are trying to get signed in ALL genres are super determined, great guys, put on awesome shows etc. etc.

Just to name a few more from PA are Carousel Kings, Going Gone, Trophies, Colors, In The Day, and Chances are High

not really...I guess you could call handguns a bit generic but their singer has a distinct voice and they're from around where I live so I've seen 'em twice, so I guess that's why I like them...and the fact that their music is great, the lyrics are real, and the songs are fast and catchy.

Hanguns gets boring after a while. I could listen to Transit all day, but I can probably only listen to Handguns every once in a while.

/pointlessrant

are you calling what I say a countless rant? I'm just backing my opinion that you disagree with, I honestly don't understand how Transit could even be considered "pop punk", they sound nothing like Handguns, and I don't understand why someone on here even brought them up because they're irrelevant to Handguns' new CD. I hate to argue about genres and everything but I hope you or someone else can explain it to me. I guess the genre has expanded so far that bands like Transit and In Her Own Words can be considered pop punk on opposite ends of the spectrum.

You and I probably have different music tastes anyway, so like I said to another guy, I'll agree to disagree on music taste, just don't insult anyone's music taste.

Cheshire Cat doesn't sound like Handguns. Such Gold doesn't sound like Handguns. All considered pop-punk. Genres are dumb, but it is what it is.

Alright, haha, sorry I was being defensive, I agree genres are truly dumb but we need something to categorize bands.
