Plain melodic punk rock, that's it. It's a competent band with no hooks and songs that don't really go anywhere. The songwriting is very bland. Guitars have no sustain, gross.

But one cover song can't raise the album grade that much. Overall, it's not too shabby.

But in that tribute song, I think they were serious, unlike many of today's bands who pay homage to those glam rockers. My guess is that this band has a great love of 80s Glam Rock, and it comes through as an…Similar sounding releases
