This L.A. power-pop collective's debut is an inviting batch of hooky, ultra-melodic guitar rock. Taking a tongue-in-cheek arena-rock stance to kick things off, the band namechecks itself on the title track, then justifies the pomp by segueing into the soaring, Badfinger-esque "I Thought I Knew You Well." Throughout, singer-songwriter/guitarist Rick Hromadka delivers the goods with a nice mix of emotiveness and self-aware humor. Other standout tracks: the spiky "Souvenir," the gorgeous piano ballad "When Atlas Falls" and especially, the kinetic "Perfect Song," which will have all but the most stoic listeners playing air drums and "ahh-ing" along with the backup vocals.
