A neon-pink explosion of bratty confidence and high-gloss mall-punk sweeps away the dark, minor-key shadows of the past. This record trades moody post-grunge for cheerleader chants, handclaps, and massive power-pop hooks engineered for maximum radio impact.
The guitars remain crunchy but are polished to a mirror shine, driving a relentless forward momentum that feels like a calculated, celebratory form of rebellion.
