Drop The Acts debut EP, When The Going Gets Tough is not what you expect it to be. Weird, right? Well it is, but in an entirely positive way. I'm not completely sure what I expected going in, but this wasn't it. Hailing from my home state, Pennsylvania, this New Castle five piece is just different enough to really capture your attention.
I think it's the voice. Right from the beginning, it's what you'll notice. This cherubic melody of a voice is way off base for what you've come to expect from a pop punk band, but it's rad. The six track release flows very nicely and is soft, but upbeat. I can imagine the album being perfect to play at a pool party, or driving to the beach, or something fun and in need of some catchy music. The track "Sunsets In Silhouettes" can also work well for your summer romance. The acoustic-into-electric ballad is a heartfelt message to some lucky lady out there. All in all, this is a quality release, and definitely mixes up the stream of pop punk consistency. You're either going to love it or hate it, but at least give it the chance.
