The vaunted “side-project” is a staple of the modern musical landscape. The act of stepping away from one’s day job toward (usually) a more avant-garde mode of expression is either a necessity or curse (and sometimes both). Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Tom Petty explored alt-country and folk highways during the 1980’s as the Traveling Wilburys. Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder meandered through psychedelia-tinged grunge with their 1991 tribute to Andrew Wood called Temple of the Dog. And, more recently, post-hardcore maestro Dallas Green ditched Alexisonfire for his more successful side-project, City and Colour. For every three side-projects mentioned, another six seem to be sprouting from the soil. It is an epidemic! Add indie pop-punk duo Misser to that list.
Misser is the product of Transit guitarist/back-up vocalist Tim Landers and This Time Next Year guitarist/back-up vocalist Brad Wiseman. Formed in 2011, the duo released one underwhelming three-song EP, Problems. Problems. Problems. Yet shortly after Landers’ Transit was signed by Rise Records, the label swooped up Misser as well in a pop-punk binge that continues to this day. And so began the journey to Misser’s debut full-length, Every Day I Tell Myself I’m Going to Be a Better Person.
Tim Landers is the unofficial headman of Misser, writing the majority of the compositions and lyrics. His touch is everywhere on Every Day I Tell Myself I’m Going to Be a Better Person, from the noodling guitars that traverse the thirteen song LP to the streamlined lyrical fare that, at times, holds the record back. But if Landers is the motor of this pop-punk machine, Brad Wiseman is the parts.
That is not to say that Landers is a ghost on the album — far from it. Every Day I Tell Myself I’m Going to Be Better Person sports dual vocals a la a sugary Taking Back Sunday, where Wiseman is Adam Lazzara and Landers is the John Nolan (or Fred Mascherino or Matthew Fazzi). The rousing “Time Capsules” and bouncy “Weightless” find the duo’s vocal interplay at its best, with the latter track screaming to be made a single. Still, Misser are at their finest when the interchanging vocals are exchanged for a wonderful harmony, or rather: the simplification of the pop-punk track from Sum 41 aggressiveness to a more indie tone (as album closer “The Waits” exemplarily exemplifies).
