"What's the state of pop music when we can't see past a Beatles melody?" asks singer Keith Newsham on the satirical As It Stands (track 3) The lyric symbolizes all that the band works towards; catchy pop music that keeps you guessing. Where else can you find a band that weaves together Latin-flavored vocal lines, hip-hop drumbeats, and overdrive guitars all in the same song? (Melody Track 2) Bassist Andrew Ruth sums up the band's motto nicely, "Our music will always be about catchy hooks that get stuck in your head. But we want to move beyond the idea that a band just carves out its little niche and sticks to it. We're going to sample a bit of everything and pull from different genres because for us, it's just about making every song distinct and unique."
