Rival Schools: Pedals
If, like me, you’re a sucker for old-school 90s alt-rock, Pedals is the album for you. Though they’ve been described as “post-hardcore,” this description is a bit misleading. Most of the music on Pedals is upbeat, and centered around a mix of bright shimmery guitars, heavy riffs, and melodic vocal lines. In fact, these guys sound more California, then they do NYC (home base); more Switchfoot than Interpol. At times the songs tend to blend into one another, but several bright spots (“A Parts for B Actors,” “The Ghost is Out There”) make Pedals worthy of repeated listening.
