Waxwing. Waxwing. And more Waxwing meets Desaperacidos and Circa Survive. The instrumentals weave through emo/pop-punk/rock/alternative territory and compliment the vocals well. The vocals (same guy as Call It Arson, I believe) waver, dip, sway and lead the songs with that very powerful croon of his and he even boasts some southern flare. I'm unsure if the flare is intentional or not but holy hell it works. There's even a bit of Silverchair and The Mark Inside on "Everglades" as at times it could be mistaken for a very catchy grunge number with alternative/emo tendencies. "Good Secret" has a chorus that Anthony Green and Rocky Votolato would give a very enthusiastic head nod to. Check out those 2 song below and see if this is for you. It's sugary sweet and I almost dismissed CANVAS for hurting my teeth, but upon a few listens I realized the band, especially the vocalist, warranted additional listens and my undivided attention. Although I only spin a few tracks from their album, they were well worth checking out.
