Goes for adds November 3rd as the second single from Lipstick In The Mirror, follow-up to "Hero". I really like this song and I'm glad it's going to radio. I think it has potential to do well, except that these guys don't particularly stand out amongst the crowd of similar characters, so that might end up hurting them in the long run. Still, I think "Hero" did well enough.

I like "Somebody Like You" and "Hero," so I'll probably like this too when I get around to hearing it. Hell, I'm going to try to find the album as well.

I caught a piece of it on my Alternative station's overnight rotation this week and, while I was too tired to listen to the rest of it, it sounded pretty bad.

I didn't think their album was anything special either, but the singles themselves were decent.

Yeah they're singles are good and catchy, but their lyrics are kinda...well, bad.
See: "Breathe"
"I can't breathe when I'm suffocating."
I don't mind this or "Hero" at all though, in fact I rather enjoy both of them.

Yeah, "Hero" was halfway decent, but they seem to be a little like Shinedown in that their music overall just doesn't grab you. Actually they sound a lot like a low-rent version of Shinedown.

Um...have you heard their song "Shinedown"? Seriously, it's spelled just like that too.
I really like Shinedown (the band, not the song) :(

Lol, I hadn't a clue! But I looked up their album after you mentioned that and wow, I don't think I've ever seen an album with so many Hot Remakes on it. Shoot, they even have a song called "Hey Mister" on there, and being the final track on the disc leads me to believe that it really is a remake, but I hope for their sake that it's not!

It's the type of song that I would expect the lamest of lame post grunge bands to try to remake.
The Custom song was a big deal in Michigan, where Pop Evil turns out to be from. So they should be aware that there already was a fairly recent hit song with that title, and if I were them, I would have at least thought twice about creating an original song and giving it that title, being one of the least ambiguous titles on the album yet still being an unoriginal one.

Why? Because otherwise people like you who don't care about them will think they covered a song you equally don't care about? It sounds like a waste of energy to me. |

Useless information is never a waste of energy.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. QED.

You would. Only teasing. Well hey I think someone mentioned a bit of a Shinedown reference in here, and this band doesnt really remind me of modern Nickelbackesque post-grunge, plus this is a true ballad which is doing well on Active, just gotta love it Plusit has nothing to do with sex, and I love cock-rock, but still this one being more unique makes me like it more |
