River City High moves into position to run with some of the hottest pop / punk bands this side of Jimmy Eat World. They are a band that relies high on melodies and harmonies but aren’t afraid to rock out and kick up some dirt. River City High has been mutating for a couple of years before finalizing their line-up. They have released a couple of EP’s and now they get set to unleash their debut album on Big Wheel Recreation and Doghouse Records. Their sound is that of a mature punk band that, as stated previously, incorporates very catchy melodies and harmonies, not to mention killer songwriting. I would even venture out and call their sound true pop with their welcoming vocals and fun guitar licks. One of my favorite lyrics is on “Just Wonderin’� where the vocalist asks “Should I wear tight pants like Jimmy Page�. They have fun while providing old and new fans with some great music to listen to. River City High’s rock and roll sound is very original in a world of copycats and imitators.
