WHO: Brian Bellitto, Adam Sahlin, Derek Andersen, Dave Woltmann, Marco Corsino
HOMETOWN: Farmington, Connecticut
GENRE: Rock/Pop Punk
LATEST RELEASE: Kids Icarus EP (2011)
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THEM: The Creator Destructor-signed quintet originally started as a side-project but has evolved into a promising group capable of tying catchy hooks with traditional pop punk. Influenced by melodic punk acts such as A Wilhelm Scream and Propagandhi, the Connecticut outfit are slated to drop their self-titled debut in March, which will hopefully feature a daring attitude that backs up the band’s “hardcore” label on MySpace.
SOUNDS LIKE: Midtown having dinner with Make Do And Mend.
