Danger Radio, Punch Your Lights Out

Danger Radio, Punch Your Lights Out

I’d like to offer some advice to the guys in Danger Radio: trade in your vocalist/songwriter for a new one who doesn’t come off like a cheap Panic At The Disco rip-off. The lyrics and vocals on Punch Your Lights Out are actually worse than PatD, if that’s possible.

Musically, this is a decent band. In fact, they would work as a fully instrumental band, for sure. They blend funk and synthesizers into a light, fun sound that’s reminiscent of nobody in particular. There are even some sweeping choir vocals here and there, which is always a good thing. But then Torres starts singing, and we’re back to square one — a cookie-cutter post-emo crapfest.

Before I end this, however, let’s take a look at some of the so-bad-they’re-good lyrics, shall we? From “Slow”: “She makes it hard for me to read her / Makes it seem like the energy between us may or may not be functioning / With her there is no questioning the love that I have deep inside.”

Yeah, the band can definitely do without that guy.
