They’re Bring Home Ohio. They’re Alex Beams (drums), Gabe
Pietrafesa (guitar), Dylan Fader (guitar/vocals), Zak Houacine (bass) and Alex
Magnan (vocals) – I really like trivia such as band member names, which is why
I list them. They’re an unsigned band from Albany, New York (the largest of the
Albanys, apparently), who describes themselves as a pop-punk band with
influences including Fall Out Boy, Taking Back Sunday and Blink 182. They’re
interested in grandpas. They’ve got friends at Glamour Kills (it’s a fashion
brand that sponsors the likes of All Time Low, You Me At Six and Mayday
Parade). They’ve got pretty cool merch (I love merch and merch is how bands
live). That, to me, sets a pretty high standard.
To be fair, they do pretty well at meeting those standards.
In my erm . . . expert opinion (one day I swear I’ll know what I’m talking
about), it’s definitely pop punk, and I quite like it. The songs don’t instantly
grab me or anything – I’m not squealing in my seat or anything. However, they’re
definitely good songs, they definitely know how to play instruments, and I can
see them growing on me pretty easily, seeing as how I plan on listening to them
again quite a lot, especially The Way It Goes. They’ve done a reasonably good
cover of Finders Keepers by You Me At Six as well, and I generally have a
phobia of cover version.
So yeah, these guys are good and I would watch out for them,
‘cause they have lots of videos and seem to be pretty busy, and just . . . if
you’re one of those people who likes to be into bands before everyone else,
then give them a listen. I meaannn ittttt.
