Album Review: The content of the album sounds like basic pop-punk, with a few powerpop harmonies and some dual harmonic melody/ emo scream vocalists on a couple tracks. The main vocals are never really aggressive, but they are driving, as is the music: mostly three-chord fuzzed out progression. The song Prittykill sounds like Blink-182 covering Nirvana. This band made efficient, easy to swallow, catchy songs.
Not much out there about them, save the stereokiller site that explains how the members came from different bands to form The Skyline Drive. Unusually difficult to look up, it seems there are multiple bands with the same name or slight variations. But a defunct Myspace page at least offers Reading PA as their hometown. I assume they got local opening slots for bands like Jimmy Eat World, Lit, blink-182 or any one of those carbon copy bands.
