Their promo single "Homecoming" hadn't really caught my attention at first. But Queen Winky really ("deliberately.forcibly") had us listened to this band everytime we scheduled a little Study/Soft Eng rendezvous at her palace last school semester. And boy, their songs did stuck on my head! And oooh boy, the vocalist is a GIRL! A mini Hayley!? (cute hairdo!) The band's genre is pop alternative fused with catchy lines and hyper beats. Like most, I saw the comparison to Paramore without anyone else mentioning it. The style, genre, age and the fact that there is only one girl. The only difference is that Hey Monday's debut started off with something fresh and catchy tunes to listen. Just light popcandy to energized the young ones. Paramore, on the other hand, started off with a dash of haunting and depth in their debut "All We Know Is Falling". It's a mature album beyond a teen's years.
Maybe they just need time to develop.
Or maybe let's just stop comparing one band to another. Anyway, just listen to their tracks and I'm sure you'll get hooked too! Almost half of the songs in the album are my favorites: Arizona, How You Love Me Now, Hurricane Streets, Obvious, Run Don't Walk, Set Off.
And hey, did I mention that I'm kinda liking "Homecoming" these days? Aw.
