Toronto’s Cut Throat Kids can thank Paramore for once again making it perfectly acceptable for older dudes (and ladies) to get into female-fronted pop-punk. The quartet’s brand of punk is poppy, youthful, energetic, and catchy as hell.
Anyone who’s heard Paramore or whichever band graces this month’s Alternative Press cover has likely heard this type of sound before, but vocalist Tyler Tasson’s voice provides enough reason alone to make us instantly forgive their slight lack of originality.
That isn’t to say the band can’t play, though. They make a lot more noise than you’d expect from a foursome and they’ll make the partier in you want to dance just as much as your inner-rocker will want to fist pump. They’ve clearly put a lot of work into their self-titled EP, and if they focus their energies as well as this over the rest of their career, we should be blessed with album-after-album of guilt-free pop punk. If that’s not good for the soul, what is?
