Band Review: The Background


I'm afraid this will be a short review, as this week has not been going the way I would want.

The Background is a four member band out of Dallas, Texas. They list themselves as Pop/Rock. They kind of remind me of pop punk, as there is a youthful energy to the sound, but sometimes pop punk can sound vapid, and there is enough heart here to prevent that from being the case. Some songs will add layers with piano or cheers or some extra element to make the music more rich, and I think that's what helps it work out.

Currently unsigned, they have recently released an EP, Sunrise, and it is worth a listen.

If you are near Dallas, they will also be playing at Sons of Hermann Hall on August 23rd.
