Chief State are hailing from Vancouver, Canada and this is their first full length release. It consists of ten songs and the music is sweet and more modern influenced pop punk, melodic punk rock with some nods to the old school masters and forefathers to the genre. But, this one is a keeper, although I am not an avid fan of modern version of pop punk. The music is inspiring and uplifting, energetic and vocals are sweet and not too snotty and not too mellow, just like they need be for these bunch of songs. Backing vocal harmonies are nicely done, guitar work and melodies fit perfectly to the day to day lyrics garnered with some humor and auto irony. But, I can relate and find my highlights in Out For Me, Drown and Losing Sleep. This is a beautiful, nicely done pop punk record and I enjoyed every single minute listening to it.
