Boys Like Girls, a young four-piece band from Boston. Massachusetts showcases twelve individual tracks that carry its own heart-throbbing weight.
The self-titled album opens with 'The Great Escape', a high-school anthem spilling youthful innocence makes the song about getting up and moving on from past mistakes. The majority of lyrics penned by vocalist Martin Johnson who at 21 years of age has written songs that fall into the pop-punk scene. Once you press play, you’ll find yourself in a wave of emotions from the up-beat 'Dance Hall Drug' to the sweet catchy single Hero/Heroine, to punk ballad 'Thunder' and heartfelt 'Broken Man'.
And although the band has crafted music that considerably falls short of originality in the pop-punk genre, by the time the disc stops playing it won’t even matter. 'Me You And My Medication' screams “emo” but Johnson’s solid vocals help elevate the song and band above the rest of the genre.
