    Wow! Talk about a transformation . . . These guys (two fathers and their sons) have moved away from a straight-ahead rock approach (kinda biker heavy) to a new school pop punk flavor. It still retains some of the simple backbeats of their former sound, but the guitar tones are influenced by everyone from The Offspring to Weezer. Overall sound? Not bad. Grade for transformation? B+.
