Band: Dropout Year Title: Best Friends for Never Available Now (iTunes, Smartpunk) Rating: 4/5 Reviewed By: Adam Cowsert (1.08) For Fans of: Reliant K, The Starting Line, Blink-182, Yellowcard and All Time Low Maryland and pop punk music must be a winning combination. All Time Low certainly saw plenty of success in 2007 and I have a feeling Dropout Year could be next. The independent quadruplet from Baltimore dropped their third release, Best Friends for Never recently and its finally starting to catch some well deserved attention. From front to back, Best Friends for Never is well written both lyrically and musically. Each selection offers a unique emotion and energy that seems to be unheard of in most of today’s music. The only disappointment is that, Best Friends… only features eight tracks, but all twenty seven minutes clearly prove that quality is always better than quantity. Every song stands out in one way or another but my personal favorite is “A Coming of Age Story.” “Biggest Fan” is a number that would make it onto just about every present day mix tape because of its honest sincerity. Basically, a simple lyric from “As You Wish” sums up just how catchy this album is “all night long I’ll keep the stereo on and we will play this song until the break of dawn.” I highly recommend buying this album and if you get the opportunity to catch Dropout Year on the New Years Revolution Tour with Close to Home and Van Atta High (starting date in New Jersey and ending in Tinley Park, IL.) Word on the street is they do a good live cover of Averil’s Girlfriend (yes, the hey hey you you song…) Track Listing From Across the Room As You Wish It Wasn’t Over, It Still Isn’t Over A Coming of Age Story Confetti Biggest Fan Hold on Tight Best Friends for Never |
