If you like poppy punk then you will probably have
a weak spot for the Crash Romeo, the band are a
four piece from New Jersey and have an infectious
poppy punk sound that’s hard not to like,
the bands sound is a mixture of Bowling For soup
meets Simple Plan. The bands second album release
Gave Me The Clap has the potential of making the
Crash Romeo very huge.
Gave Me The Clap is one of the most infectious
releases I have heard so far in 2008, the album
is fast and melodic from start to finish and the
band have such a happy sound. The album starts
off with 'About To Break' a song that is full
of melody and has such an huge catchy chorus which
you will find yourself singing along and bopping
your head to in no time. The lead single taken
from the album is the extremely catchy 'Popular'
the song features yet another really catchy chorus
and is such a happy bounce a long song, the lyrics
are quite basic but you find yourself singing
along anyway.
The album title track 'Gave Me The Clap' is another
top song that is full of melody, the guitars are
fast, furious and catchy, frontman Travis Weber's
vocals are as catchy and clear as ever, the chorus
is quite basic yet extremely catchy with frontman
Travis Weber shouting "clap, clap, clap,
clap, clap your hands" which I’m sure
would go down extremely well at the bands live
show.
Each song on the album is followed up by another
fast paced bouncy poppy punk song, each song on
the album has the potential to be a future single
release with the title track 'Gave Me The Clap'
and 'Victim Liar' standing out from the pack and
having hit written all over them.
Musically Crash Romeo are pretty talented they
can clearly play their instruments and come up
with an extremely catchy tune, but it’s
lyrically where the band struggle, the lyrics
are pretty basic and poor throughout but that
is soon forgotten as the band manage to pull off
good things do to their overall bouncy sound.
If you like bands such New Found Glory, Bowling
For Soup, Simple Plan or Allister then you will
love Crash Romeo.
4/5
