Punk pop at it's best

"I picked up this disc at a local show Allister was playing at and there is not one bad track on the whole disc. No attempts at ballads or "serious" songs, just a whole lot of fun and energy. If you like New Found Glory or FenixTx you will like Allister, although Allister has a more raw, garage sound to them. A perfect of mix between pop and punk, old school punk rockers can find something to like here as well as teen age girls. Songs like "Jacob thinks I'm gay," "Friday night," "Miz," and more just stick in your head all day, not to mention making you want to get up and jump around. They include their own version of the Backstreet Boys "I want it that way" which is scary because it sounds a little too much like the boys but it's good for a laugh. It's rare that you can put a disc in and listen to it straight through without skipping tracks, but this is one of those gems. Drive-Thru Records has produced yet ANOTHER winner!"
