Unknown-ness: Never heard of this band, but I'm near sure this will be a combination of pop-punk and emo, based on their Weezer-y look and the year. Maybe I'm giving them a comparison to the emo band Thursday, based on name choice and music styles produced at that time.

Album Review: Nasally vocals and a delightful mix of power pop chords and the lighter side of punk make up the general sound of Tuesday. They throw a couple folksy-punk songs in there too with calculated melodic hooks, above and beyond three-chord pop. There's a little Gin Blossoms in there, too. The instrumental track "So Awake" sounds like Collective Soul. And "Too Much of Today" has vocal attributes and a driving punk beat that feels like a Green Day cover. 

The band was born of the ashes of the Chicago ska band Slapstick, who decided to go in a different direction. A pair of eps and a full length, things drifted apart before they got momentum going, as this is their only full-length. Andriano had the most fruitful career, by joining Alkaline Trio after Tuesday.
