Their name is awkward to say and is missing an apostrophe. Music's okay, but they do that easycore/poor-man's-With the Punches sort of thing that I'm not too big on.

I don't even think WTP did this style right. Seams and Stitches is the only release of theirs I've liked, and I think that's because it sounds far more influenced by The Wonder Years than old Four Year Strong.

The whole "easycore" thing is pretty much based around FYS so it's a given they will sound similar for a bit. It takes a while to get settled from what I've seen.

Yeah, the lyrics on the new record are great. I know it generally takes bands a while to really find their sound, which is why all of the easycore bands get way more interesting when they stop playing easycore.
