Greyfield - Soundtrack to the Summer

Reviewed by david

Greyfield is comprised of four young men from Florida, singing about normal teenage life: growing up, girls, etc. This is quite generic pop-punk, in the vein of New Found Glory or Student Rick, and while there seems to be potential within this band, it obviously hasn't been unlocked yet. Soundtrack to the Summer is a record you've probably heard a million times before, if the aforementioned bands are your thing. Despite being quite sugary, it is a catchy album and you will probably end up with several songs, especially “Note To Self”, stuck in your head. Yet, on the whole, it’s not a superb album. Hopefully in the future the band will have a bit more depth to their lyrics, and then we might see what they can really do. Stay away from this album if the pop-punk genre isn’t your thing... you won't like it. [www.greyfieldrock.com]
