Pop-punk is an overwhelming genre. There are so many bands that sound alike. It's really easy to forget who you're listening to.
Anarbor is a band from Phoenix, Arizona. They're a part of the "
Once It Hits Your Lips Tour" with T
he Friday Night Boys,
The Bigger Lights, and
The Ready Set. Their EP,
Free Your Mind, was released in spring of 2009. "
Let The Games Begin" is featured on this album. This song, which I listed in one of my first playlists
here, manages to be unique in a genre that grows every seconds. The song, which I first discovered from the
Vans Warped Tour, starts with an insanely catchy guitar riff. Many vocalists in this genre tend to get annoying after a coupe of songs.
Anarbor's vocalist,
Slade Echeverria, has just the right tone to his voice to avoid this trap. The ascending final note and his in-and-out falsetto adds variety to the song. Plus, the "
bang bang" backup vocals are interesting on their own. I would check out this song if you're a fan of the genre. I would also give it a listen if you like
There For Tomorrow,
Every Avenue,
This Providence, and similar bands.
