Capital Lights: This is an Outrage

If you are reading this and you know me personally then you know that I have a taste for any band that comes off of Tooth and Nail records. They seem to consistently sign bands that deliver solid albums. With a history of bands like Anberlin, Mae, Emery and the Classic Crime they seem to know good music. Well Capital Lights is no different!

The first track titled Outrage is a catchy song that has a huge hook in every sense of the word. It will remind you of bands like The Academy Is.. and Cartel while keeping the song all their own style. Other stand out catchy songs include Out of Control and Work It Out. My favorite tracks of the album are Miracle Man which is a song that will help you enjoy the summer with its roll down the window and sing along chorus. While my other favorite song titled Mile Away has a feel between Death Cab For Cutie with a shot of Green Day influenced vocals. The cd is solid from start to finish. If you are looking for social commentaries or political agendas this album is not for you. But if you are looking for a cd that you will want to sing along with to every song anda cd that will keep you smiling... check out Capital Lights!

Grade: B+ border line A-

For fans of: Relient K, This Providence, Yellowcard or any Tooth and Nail lover
