Sloppy Pop Punk
I spent a lot of time and money in high school and my first few years of college buying crappy comps because I liked the label that put them out, or because I liked one of the bands, or just because I was hoping to find anything worth listening to. There was usually a lot of uninspired filler, but occasionally you'd find a gem. Those gems were often half-baked (unpolished?), usually marking a moment in a band or song's life where enthusiasm and talent push the product forward, but before practice produces a more refined sound. Young Hearts sound like the sort of sloppy and wonderfully angsty pop-punk that shows no signs of intervention by a producer and often showcases one good idea tripping over another. It sounds like a band trying to get noticed.
I'm impressed.
