There are some danceable pop moments to the music, but the real star are its riffs — so stanky and bluesy they make you want to slap someone. There's also a taste of both punk and '70s rock in the songwriting, which adds a touch of nostalgia without making the band sound dated.
Add in the soulful, attitude-drenched vocals of Christina Halladay and you've got the whole rock package.
