I need to pay closer attention to pop-punk. I'm way too jaded about it and always miss great records because of it. This is one those records that luckily I finally got around to listening to. Stay Ahead Of The Weather is from Chicago and shares members with local emo acts Native, Into It. Over It. and Castevet. So take those bands, multiply by Bridge & Tunnel and carry The Sidekicks and you'll get an idea of what to expect. It's always great when two or more good bands come together and produce something of equal or greater value (see Able Baker Fox) and this has definitely happened. Stay Ahead definitely have the emo influence of their parent bands (is this a term?) but are definitely rooted in punk, paying lyrical homage to Jawbreaker. Anyway, this was released as a 7" by No Sleep Records back in October, and is sold out there but can still be found in a few distros. Check it out.
