Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding massively on their initial breakthrough, 'Based on a True Story' embraces highly polished alternative rock textures while remaining anchored in energetic pop-punk. The band delivers sharply melodic, rhythmically tight power pop anthems dealing heavily in earnest, romantic emotional territory. It is widely considered a highly mature and definingly catchy classic of the mid-2000s Drive-Thru Records roster.
