Boys Like Girls

[official website] - [official myspace]

By: Malcom.

Boys Like Girls (BLG) is Boston, Massachusetts answer to great alternative music. With their debut self-titled CD, BLG shows off their new and original sounds. Boys Like Girls possess not one unique song on their self-titled debut. From the sound-a-like choruses to the predictable she-done-me-wrong subject matter, it sounds like a hybrid of Simple Plan and the All-American Rejects. They do have talent and work off each other brilliantly as musicians, especially considering they formed their band a mere year ago, but they sound like everything heard before from the pop-punk camp.

Charging through the album like his life depends on it, lead singer Martin Johnson has passion and grit, but the similarity of his vocals to those of Pierre Bouvier, the lead vocalist of Simple Plan, is mighty disturbing. Some songs have admirable lyrics like the conflicting emotions of "Hero/Heroine" or "Dance Hall Drug".

Talent is an understatement to the ammout of immpecable ability these boys give off within evey second of their album.

Recommendations:
"Thunder" - This song got me hooked, the lyrics definatley reflect the thoughts and loves of their lives, deep and emotional.

"Dance Hall Drug" - This is a beat, that will get your feet tapping, BLG's unique ability to keep the listener going on excelent backup sounds is great.

"Hero/Heroine" - My favorite song on the entire album, I like the way Martin Johnson can shift his vocals from the emotional to the high pitch performist that adds a tone of flare to these songs.
