    Are you happy? I mean, really happy? If not, these guys might put a smile on your face. Following in the footsteps of pop punks MxPx or Greenday, these guys pass the first two big tests: vocals and songs. Both are very good. Lee does a swell job holding down half the guitar duties and churning out melodic and in-tune vocals. The group keeps things creative and tight. Sure, it's a genre full of bands, but if you do it well, people will want to hear it. Thankfully, these guys do it very well. For ordering info, write: 8560 Commonwealth Ave, Jacksonville FL 32221
