Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to secure broader commercial crossover, the New Jersey outfit enlisted producer Ed Stasium to inject an arena-ready punch into their 1960s-influenced power pop. 'Blow Up' features robust guitars and signature gloomy yet highly melodic songcraft, standing as a polished culmination of their classic alternative rock sound.
