I'm sorry, a song that goes "my heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel" is as bad as anything the boy-bands have come out with. And the singer's voice - ick! Sorry, but if you're going to go for that type of music, you either need a singer who can rise above the material, or some classic songs that anyone could sing, or a stellar guitarist. As far as I see, they're scoring zero out of three - the singer is lousy, the songs are banal rubbish, and the guitarist sounds like he's playing exercises off some "Rock methods" book.

Fair play to them, they're making money off it. They've mastered the most important element of the music business, which is self-promotion.
