I'm gonna be honest. Somehow I had never heard of the punk/rock band Punchline. I've done my research and I've seen that they've been around for quite awhile. They have 6 studio albums and 3 EP's under their belts. And yet they've never found fame. Lead singer Steve Soboslai is now 32 and still trying to get the band's name out there. Unfortunately,their releases have never even touched the Billboard top 200 album charts. Their newest release is called "So Nice To Meet You",and the band has been rallying fans to get the album to the #1 spot on the iTunes albums chart. So far,at the time of posting this blog,they've made it to #8. I bought the EP. Never even heard of the band. But I listened to the previews,and I thought,hell,this sounds great,why not buy?
The album is fun and fast paced most of the time and reminds me old punk and alternative music,which is great. Highlights and favorites on the album are "Everything I Wanted", "Universe", and "I Want You To Want Me". But there aren't any bad songs on the EP by any means. I love this EP. Dare I say best release of 2012 so far? YES. Although that isn't saying a ton, its still great. I enjoy the lyrics alot,obviously they've come a long way in the song writing since they formed the band.
I highly recommend this EP to you guys, its one of the best EP's you'll get your hands on. I hope you guys decided to buy the album,its great and help these guys get the #1 spot they've been waiting forever to get! The band was set back by iTunes not putting the album live and lead singer Steve said "I bet LMFAO wouldn't have this problem" but since their a small band, they don't get the attention they should get. Support these guys!
Overall, 95/100. Solid EP. Buy it. Peace guys.
