You Blew It! – Keep Doing What You’re Doing (Topshelf)

Keep Doing What You’re Doing indeed. Does this album display growth on You Blew It!’s part? Certainly. But it’s mostly a refinement of a sound they’ve always practiced, a sound they borrowed from countless forebears, one built on cathartic howls and triumphant guitar parts piling up to the basement rafters. If any band deserves to get roped into the emo revival thing, it’s these guys — and if any band validates that enterprise, it’s also these guys. –Chris [LISTEN]
