The BeatPreachers play a blues-influenced brand of rock that tries to put itself alongside the seventies set of Detroit rock but comes off as a band that is a lot of form but little in the way of substance. With “Deniedâ€, the band bashes through a track in less than two and a half minutes, but there is nothing in the way of artistic development for individuals to really cut…

In the same vein as some of the other recent signs to Victory Records, Bayside play a very Weezer-influenced style of rock that draws definite parallels to fellow label-mates Taking Back Sunday and Capitol Records’ own Yellowcard. Anthony’s vocals on “Sirens and Condolences†are extremely clear and reminiscent to Blake Schwarzenbach’s, and the guitars are extremely anti-septic throughout the same period. Drawing more inspiration from bands like Warrant and Poison…

The rough sound placed out by Baxter House is not really linked to any other specific genre of music; its raucous sound reminds one of Apocalipstick, especially when one considers the very atonal and loud singing of Rachel’s vocals. A track like “Fat Gross Cowboy†has guitars that are linked to the middle nineties, back to a time when bands like L7 were popular. The fuzz on the track is…
