On This Is Awkward, CALLISTO are able to tie together Green Day and Good Charlotte to provide listeners with a crunchy, chugging pop-punk track. Building upon that style, there’s a bit of a Foo Fighters growl and Monster Magnet-meets-early Sugar Ray stripped down set of raw guitar riffs. The song will tunnel its way deep into the minds of listeners. By working within this late-90s sort of paradigm, CALLISTO are able to make something in their new single that stands out boldly among the other tracks released in 2023.
