Definitely! When they played IPO last year they showed tremendous poise and
a very refreshing combination of confidence and humility. Their performance
was excellent and it included, among the fine original tunes, covers of "I
Got You" and "Just What I Needed".
I've been listening to an advance of their album, and I'm suitably
impressed. Yes, their sound is ultra-produced and created with the masses
in mind, but if this kind of modern bubble-gum becomes commercial, it's
going to be a torch bearer for some very, very good bands to come.
I surely hope their song "Pop Princess" becomes a hit, and it should,
because it's the catchiest tune by anyone that I've heard in a long while.
