Hellogoodbye In the summer of 2004, Drive-Thru Records introduced their new prodigy known as Hellogoodbye. Hellogoodbye is a Their self-titled EP has six songs on it and one is a remix. I find that a remix of a song that is on a short EP is about as necessary as the new Britney Spears CD. Drive-Thru first released their EP at drivethrurecords.com as five free downloads, they then later pressed it, and it is now sold in stores. The album starts out with their single ‘Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn,” an electronically fueled power pop tune that will get you Hellogoodbye is a breath of fresh air from the whiney, screaming, emo sound that has overcome most of the scene today. I would have to classify them under the awesome-core genre. With a synthesizer, a tambourine and four creative minds, this band has something completely different going on with them. Their self-titled EP is fresh and fun. If this doesn’t get you dancing then your legs just don’t work. XROXX ALBUM RATING: XXXX (4 X’s out of a possible 5 X’s) Austin James Go Back. |

dancing to no time. The following tracks “Call and Return,” and "Bonnie Taylor Shakedown V.1” are filled with the same off the wall energy as the first song. "Prom With Jesse" is the worst piece of shit I have heard in the world. Here’s the mental picture: some Asian kid doing a line of coke and playing on a keyboard. It’s a song about getting keyboardist Jesse to go to prom. You know they're just joking around, but they really shouldn’t have pressed it. Their next song “Dear Jamie,” is a slow song bursting at the seams with pretty thoughts and interesting 
interludes of music. In my opinion, it's going to be the new “Konstantine.” Next is their remix of track three, and it's actually really cool, but still completely unnecessary.
