This dark pop rock from Ohio is quite addicting. The music is unique in its ability to maintain a pop rock sound along with very dark, almost free-form melodies. The vocals are great. Josh has a voice that copes well with the mood of each differing song.
The lyrics are deep and metaphorical. Most of the songs attempt to tell some sort of story with an awkward pseudo-chronology that is not disagreeable. Though it doesn't quite match how I described the other sets of lyrics, one of my new favorite lyrics is now "Methylchloroisothiazolinone". Who can't enjoy this terribly confusing love/hate song to the antibacterial element in everyone's favorite household products?
I lather and rinse and repeat
You leave me feeling complete
Go away, go away, cuz I don't wanna keep you
My favorite tracks were probably 1, "I want to destroy something beautiful", and 7, "The Raven and the Swan".
Excellent job, Josh. Ohio is not too far from Virginia, come visit some time.
