Someone Say Something – Let The Games Begin EP (Own Label).
New Jersey pop punksters Someone Say Something are building a bit of a reputation on the US college scene and on the evidence of this EP it’s not hard to understand why. This 6 track sampler is full of raw energy and whilst they will have to smooth out some of the rough edges, they should not cut down on their obvious power and passion. The eponymous title track is very reminiscent of Blink 182 in their heyday and the chorus will get under your skin. They will have to improve lyrically but that will come with experience. They are musically solid and their youthful exuberance comes through in spades. Friday Night is even faster than the opener and is wonderful power pop. More power pop comes in the form of Less Than Lazy and this could easily be chart material. They throw in a live recording in the form of Follow and this power packed song has good potential. The acoustic based Anti-Self is average pop but can be improved – think McFly with an edge. They leave the best to last and Lose Control is the jewel in their crown. It is so full of energy and highlights a band on fire. They have a talent for writing a great chorus and that will take them a long way in the business. Given the right conditions and a bit of luck, Someone Say Something could well find themselves on the verge of something big.
