The Wannabe Hasbeens – Former Trans Future Vol. 1 – CD
(WBHB) I think their name is fairly accurate. They wannabe part of the emo / rock / punk-op movement ala Jimmy Eat World, All American Rejects, New Pornographers etc. However, they come off as a cheap imitation, their songs sound forced and a bit lame. I just can’t get into any of them and the lyrics just don’t strike any chords. They have plenty of hooks and a really clean sound, but that just doesn’t cut it. I think they will soon be has been’s…and that’s generous since it’s more like never were.
