"If I was mean I would call Squarewell names by saying this band just makes the sh*tty jock rock, people call emo nowadays. They"re lucky I gave their CD a listen and found out Squarewell have nothing to do with Taking AFI On A Thursday. Nothing. It"s emotional, yes. It"s rock, yay. It"s good, no question. One shouldn"t praise the past but this american band has the dower to write songs that fit very much into the Quicksand era. Every song is a small hymn of its own. No wishy washy and no fillers. I wonder what the singer talks about in the lyrics because often I think I miss the point, but the words are chosen very well and create nice metaphors. The crux of the record is, and I don"t know if this is a blessing or a curse, that it doesn"t sound like you can get big with it. It"s too honest and doesn"t give a sh*t about trends. A lot of people will like it, but it will be hard to reach the scenesters." - Emo Is DEAD (http://www.emoisdead.com)
