    With more than just a simple three-chord quiver, the band draws on a few additional influences than its punk rock contemporaries. There are even a few rockabilly sounding guitars making an appearance here, especially on the Stray Cats cover "Rock This Town." I understand they do more of that live, so I can't wait. Cool also are the way the boys trade and share vocal duties, one always backing up the other with well harmonized BGV's. Put that with some fast beats and decent songwriting, and there's quite a pile of potential.
