Jamie Woolford and friends are back, pushing poppy indie in different directions, like the Ben Folds Five-ish “Don’t Say Uncle,” and the Beatles-with-moogs “Too Little, Too Late.”

The music isn’t bad, but the lyrics are irritating. A couple of the songs really pander to “the kids” with cheesy “I know what it’s like to be 15, so hey buck up” sort of lyrics.

Even worse is “Vice-Versa Inquisition,” a bitter song about getting bad reviews in punk rock zines, insinuating that a reviewer doesn’t give a bad review because they think the music sucks, but because they’re stroking their own egos and being punker-than-thou. It ends with a challenge to zine writers to pick up a guitar and try it out for themselves. Whatever, dude. Pick up a pen and start your own zine and give your band all the positive reviews you want.
