The surf-rock answer to my prayers

In a world where emo bands, gangster rap, and hardcore heavy metal are king, Above the Golden State’s melodic power pop debut is a breath of fresh air, or music I suppose.
The lyrics are sing-a-long amazing, guaranteeing you’ll be humming the tunes long after you listen to the CD. Any fan of mid-90s Weezer, The Beatles, or The Beach Boys would be proud to call themselves a fan of Above the Golden State as well. With intelligent song writing and guitar skills from front-man Michael Watson, the intoxicating keyboard playing of Tim Aylward, and precise drumming from Brook Mosser who can stop these guys?
Not only are they skillful musicians, they also display an unbridled love and admiration for God both in lyrical content and the way they live their lives. With that type of power fueling this band’s every move, there is only one way to go, and that’s up.
Even though this is their first run out, I guarantee we haven’t seen the last of Above the Golden State, and I personally can not wait to see what they come out with next!
