Bummer Hill - Far Removed
B Tier
Trying to peg these eclectic musicians is a tough task; some tracks on Far Removed are through-and-through Emo-Pop goodness while other songs ride the softer Indie Rock wave. Others still borrow from the heaviest of Pop-Punk bands. This versatility is punctuated by top-notch production, highlighting the different tones this band aims for. The singer's smooth voice produces some very catchy melodies, but he also knows how to explode when necessary. If nothing else, this record is one of the most interesting of the year.
