When’s the last time you’ve hear a pop-punk band talking about good grades? A Clear Blurr, the teenage quartet from New Jersey consisting of honor students and even a golf team captain, is getting ready to release their second studio album, Trigonometry. Yes folks, Trigonometry. A Clear Blurr’s infectious melodies and poppy bass take me back to the good old days when New Found Glory had just dropped the ‘A’ from their name.

If you’ve been lacking some quality old-school late ’90s/early ’00s pop-punk lately, pick up a copy of Trigonometry when it drops in September and quench your cravings quicker than you can say, ‘What’s a CD?’

Initial Thoughts: At first, as I was coming off of an all-I-want-to-listen-to-is-NFG bender, I thought that this was just another bunch of teenagers trying to copy bands like New Found Glory and Blink-182.

Now: I then realized that they weren’t trying, they were comparable on the same level as NFG and Blink and that, if I didn’t know they were fresh out of high school, I would never have guessed.

Best Track: Brain Dead. It’s an energetic song everyone can relate to.
