I am starting to get excited for the upcoming Take Action Tour, Absolutely loving being a part of rocknyc because of the amazing opportunities it offers me. This Friday I have the pleasure of speaking with not only Mayday Parade but another who I am quite taken with-
Call The Cops
Has boldly stepped into the world of straight haired skinny jeaned poppunk. Its a rough gig. This over saturated market must be a bear to crack. So many bands sound just the same and have the same MO. Fun, safe sexy, talented, ‘fun’. They shower they flat iron their hair They’re polite and articulate. They care about community and their friends. They love their fans, they love their jobs……..they’re feeling groovy.
First things first. I see facial hair. That alone sets them apart. The Song “Get Close” has a techno twitter fun. They very much sound like Innerparty System in this. The fast techno does them well. What I’m digging is I am the first to hear them. Id say in about 2 months every one of the scene girls will be gushing over them. Its as if I can see it coming like a tsunami. This Friday night Hartford CT will adopt them as the ‘most amazing’ band, they will get mobbed. They will get lucky and they will be remembered. If there is one thing I’m good with its predicting this stuff. I can already see the CT girls lining up on their myspace comments. ‘new boys are coming! quick get the hairspray…..
Videos on their site give them that Foo Fighter fun type image but if you DON’T look you’ll hear the recipe for success. A singable chorus in a great pitch, a fun drum a simple repetition of bass.. and my tsing of cymbals.
‘Motion Sickness’ will be the song that ignites the crowd. I like when a band sounds like they dig a song and listening to this I can hear more energy, so either they feel it too or this was a first take before the 20 cans of Monster were consumed.
Basically and simply said ‘Call The Cops’ are doing everything right.
As they travel to town on the Take Action tour they’re simply plowing a path for a full stage at the next pass through on… Warped Tour July 11th.
