Power pop with a punk edge. How many albums does that phrase describe? So many that it doesn't mean anything. How then, do I describe an album that may be the definitive power pop with a punk edge recording?

Well, I guess I'm just going to have to tell you that 6X plays power pop with a punk edge, and they do it superbly. The songs are great, and lead singer Lara Kiang has a voice that's simultaneously tough and sweet and perfect for what this band is doing. It's just so hard to find the right words to differentiate this disc from all the others that are trying to be this one. Take my word for it, this is the one. I'm sure of it, because I've heard it. In fact, I'll let you go now. I'm going to play it again. And again. Because this is the one.

Track List:

Rock Out * Far Away * Broken In * Underground * Bowling Baby * Do As I Say * Who Needs That? * For Your Amusement * Lost Your Chance * Figure It Out * Leaving You * Beat You Up * Be My Baby
