Karrigan, a newer band out of Orlando, Florida caught my attention last year when singer Chase stopped me at the front lines at Warped Tour and asked me to give his band a listen. A quick mix of Anberlin, and piano driven melodies won be over and I picked up the bands first record, My Conscience Got The Best Of Me. Well a full year later I received the second EP put out by this fabulous band from Orlando while hanging out with them on Warped Tour. I was very excited to see that they had re-done two of the old EP's tracks, Coastline and Summer Shadez as they were my favorites off the old cd.
The new EP however, is very different, instead of being the same beachy fun pop-punk band I first caught listen to. They are now going for a more mainstream pop sound. However they make it work, very well I might add. Songs like Sleeping With Your Lights On, and Party @draculacastle are more techno feel with a hint of metro station and those solo electronic artist we all love, thanks to Chase's hushed vocals. However the album turns genre's completely when they bust back into the piano driven Summer Shadez and the album's close Coastline. But the biggest standout track on the album is Crazy. Its a all around catchy single with a great summer pop-punk vibe. All in all I give the album a 3/5. Its a great summer pick-up at $5 and will easily become one of your most overplayed albums. That being the problem. Its to short, and will easily get old, But don't let that stop you from picking this up, because in my opinion its one of the best release's this summer.
Thanks for reading,
