Pop punk from the same stable as MxPx greets the ears as this album kicks in. The vocal delivery is extremely fast, matched by simple, speedy, distorted guitar lines. The vocals suffer from a slightly nasal quality, and they seem a bit high in the mix. The songs don't really have anything memorable about them, none of them grabbing me the way some of MxPx's material did, but this is just a demo and could win the band some useful support slots.
