Rough Edge: Cute is What We Aim For CD Reviews

CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR

"Rotation" (Fueled by Ramen; 2008)

Before you dismiss this band because of their sissy name just take a minute and give them a listen. If you like power pop or pop punk then this band might be your new flavor. I like pop punk when it's done right; these guys have great vocals and the guitar has some good riffs.

Here's the downside: This band is now defunct. They have two albums, "The Same Old Rush With A New Touch" released in 2006 and this one. Apparently, all of the band members split and Shaant Hacikyan is the only guy left (he's the lead singer so he is going solo).

CIWWAF was Shaant, Jeff, Dave and Tom.

Rating Guide:

A classic. This record will kick your ass.

Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.

So-so. You've heard better.

Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.

Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
