Oh No Not Stereo – 003

After a stint on Takeover Records, the twosome that makes up Oh No Not Stereo is left to their own devices. Well, not entirely alone because they recorded “003” with the help of producers Jim Wirt and Max Coane and got a couple of people to pitch in with some drums here and a guitar solo there. But in essence Oh No Not Stereo are two dudes called Sky Nielsen and Mykul Lee.

Call it powerpop or poppunk, fact is these two guys have a knack for writing catchy melodies with plenty of power behind them. The songs on here are mostly uptempo (except for the obligatory ballad “A World Of Your Own”) and ready for the radio. Think Sugarcult. Think All-American Rejects. Think fun, unpretentious rock music with big choruses and you’re there. With fifteen songs, “003” might be a tad bit too long but crank this baby up on a sunny day and you won’t regret it.
