Awesome
Foolproof only put out one album before imploding. I usually don’t bother writing up acts that aren’t currently active, but this album has been in heavy rotation on all my playlists since I discovered it a couple months ago. The album, Everybody Dance is aptly named - most of the songs are extremely danceable. The music is along the lines of The All American Rejects, but it has shades of techno/electronic influences on a couple songs that sound like Brandtson’s Hello, Control. The songwriting is stellar, except for “Can’t Stop Diggin’”, which seems to be the band’s token embarrassing-emo-junior-high-slow-dance number. (Since I’m a geek, the song sounds to me like someone with an obsession with Digg.com. It’s bad form to digg your own stuff, guys.) They make it for it with “Fall From the Sky”, easily the strongest song on the album and one that gets stuck in my head everytime I hear it.
