Now that holiday cheer is out of everyone’s system, it’s time for that overdue batch of wintertime sadness. Acoustic EP is the kind of disc that someone would take off their dashboard and pop into the drive if they were alone in a car at their local mall’s parking lot, waiting for the heater to turn on. Columbus, OH pop punkers, City Lights have prepared acoustic versions of 5 songs from their 2011 full-length album, In It To Win It.
“I Made A Song On Garage Band And All I Got Was This Lousy Record Deal” is a title fit for any pop-punk song. The guitars are easy on the ears, lightly strumming away to soothe the listener. “Trophy Room” doesn’t break from the pop-punk mold, calling out a deceitful girl who doesn’t answer her phone.
Following suit, “Please Let Me Know” contemplates how to avoid real life by not letting go of the past. “What It Takes” presents the crossroad everyone seems to finds themselves in at some point in their life—a road that leads to nowhere.
Unfortunately, the lyrics of these songs don’t have as much punch when City Lights is unplugged. In fact, it sounds like Oshie Bichar is reading an angsty teenager’s tweets out loud instead of breaking down well thought-out and insightful lyrics.
Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Handguns, State Champs, and City Lights will be touring together in March and April. Check out the dates below by clicking “Read More!”
