A Thousand Oaks band that built a following on energetic shows and direct lyrics.
For their early energy, try 'Alarm the Alarm.' 'Citadel' and 'Despite Your Valour' show the later shift toward alternative rock.
They started in garages and basements around siblings David and Rebecca Perez, then put out albums like 'Rise or Die Trying' that mixed pop-punk melodies with some punk attitude. Songs like 'Alarm the Alarm' from '2009 California' show their straightforward approach, even when some lyrics drew criticism for being too explicit. They kept writing through that, later touching on alternative rock and indie sounds.
Formed in 2002 in Thousand Oaks, they released their self-titled debut in 2006. '2009 California' came next with 'Alarm the Alarm,' followed by albums like 'Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder' in 2013. Their sound shifted from pop-punk to include alternative rock elements over the years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
