Smile Kid
We The Kings
High-energy pop-punk sensibilities define this second release, which cemented the band's position in the late 2000s. It acts as a perfect snapshot of the period, mixing clean production with the youthful urgency common to radio hits.
Bright synthesizers and driving guitar melodies create a vibe intended for long trips and summer memories. The record relies on the upbeat, melodic style of the indie-pop movement, catching the infectious feeling of the late 2000s.
