Simple Plan Cause Screaming

By Stephanie Joudrey (CHARTattack) September 2, 2008 3:45 pm
I know Simple Plan have pretty much made the words "pop-punk" taboo and are met with near universal disdain, but everyone has a guilty pleasure, and they're mine.

Cute Is What We Aim For — Rotation

in
By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) July 8, 2008 10:20 am
I got a Simple Plan song stuck in my head after listening to this album. That's not even a joke. There's nothing cute about four 20-something Gap mannequins writing derivative pop rock to get laid by the girls in their dorm.

Melillo came later....

Cute Is What We Aim For — The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) August 15, 2006 7:43 pm
It's alright to buy into this band's name, because this album definitely doesn't have any teeth. The Same Old Blood Rush plays it very safe, pandering to the 14-year-old girls still writing on their sneakers with Magic Markers and crushing on the cute boy who works at Taco Bell. These girls are also the ones who worship CIWWAF in a cult-like...

Buffalo, N.Y. band Cute Is What We Aim For established themselves as teenage emo heartthrobs on their first album, The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch. But things have changed on their sophomore album, Rotation. "Change" was even briefly considered for the title, but it became more like a running theme to vocalist Shaant Hacikyan...
