Landing somewhere between gritty, old school rock 'n' roll and modern, plucky punk sounds, comes Squad Five-O, with its self-titled sophomore album. Squad Five-O is a thoroughly modern album that addresses big issues with cleverness and cut-to-the-marrow honesty.
Issues addressed include drug abuse, running from one's problems, bad examples of love, popularity & celebrity, wasting time, air travel, and much more. Produced by acclaimed hard music producer Barry Poynter, Squad Five-O has enough amazing sounds to rekindle your love of grunge rock, without misplacing the group's more modern melodic sensibilities. It's hard, but it's not that hard. Poynter enables the band to find its true identity, by bringing all of their strengths to the forefront.
Squad Five-O eschews the trends, showing that hard music doesn't have to be depressing. Squad Five-O is thirteen tracks of yummy goodness that not only rocks, but somehow manages to approach life with a positive attitude. - Robin Parrish
