From: Mississauga, Canada
Sounds like: Pop Punk
Minority 905 have made quite the name for themselves within the Canadian Pop Punk scene with hard work, tons of shows and a sound that's hard to ignore. Their recent album was released a few months ago so let's go back and see what they offer up. The opening track "Don't Panic" is a nice little catchy tune. It has 90's Alternative Rock vibes as it glides along with ultra catchy riffs and melodies that'll catch the listeners ear with ease. "Catching Fire" is another upbeat number. The driving guitars and high energy make this quite the track to jam out to. The title track "Dangerous Ambitions" features soaring vocals and a more Pop Punk flavor. "Relapse" slows things down a bit. The Rock vibes are strong when it picks up during the chorus. "Picture Perfect" gets the energy back up and doesn't hold anything back. The track is straight fire and should be a single in no time. "Smoke and Mirrors" takes the pace back down for a bit. The track does crank itself up just like "Relapse" but it feels familiar. "27 Club" is perfect for Rock radio as it has an infectious sound that'll pull in listeners. "Soundtrack" has a modern Blink 182 sound. It's catchy and will certainly appease fans that lean more for Alternative Rock than Pop Punk. "Lucky Ones" is an acoustic track that wears its heart on its sleeve. The passion pours out of the track effortlessly and really showcases the heart of the band. "Run This Town" conjures up that Pop Punk flair. The track is pure energy and really sets its sights on showcasing the more Pop Punk side of the band. It's such a fantastic track! "What If" keeps the Pop Punk style coming. The track still has that bite to it even though it's later in the album. The closing track "Future" puts a nice tight bow on the album. The track has enough Pop Punk in it to please Pop Punk fans around the world. The album is twelve songs long but features enough catchy music throughout to keep things interesting.
Verdict:
Minority 905 are ready for the Pop Punk spotlight with their newest album.
