Liftoff might not be big on self promotion (their website offers little in the way of biographical information) but that works fine because they don’t seem like the kind of band that’s too caught up in maintaining a website or writing one-sheets anyways. In fact, it took a trip to their Bandcamp page to discover that their upcoming Naked LP is their third full-length since they debuted with a two-song EP in 2000.
These British Columbians boast an alternative mainstream rock sound that sounds akin to a more rock-oriented Green Day (vocalist Carmon Leeson is a dead ringer for Billie Joe Armstrong) or an older Simple Plan while at the same time harnessing the alt-rock fashions of mid-’90s Canadian alternative rock.
Liftoff might spread themselves a little thin trying to pack variety (or eligible singles) into their releases, but standouts such as “Falling Apart” and “All Alone” are excellent testament to the fact that, if they stick to the up-tempo numbers, they’re going to get somewhere.
