With BUILD & BURN, the label releases the second album of the band. The fact that the band is still with Fat Mike can be seen as either a stroke of luck or fate. Fat Mike, as the head of FAT WRECK, has always had a knack for success. THE LOVED ONES create very stylish pop-punk. The band seems to have the sun shining out of their behinds. The songs go down like sunscreen on bare skin. The band's music is also perfectly suitable for skating. On cold and wet winter days (snow seems to be something we will soon only know from history books due to climate change), the band reminds us that even the longest winter eventually comes to an end, and we can walk through the city in T-shirts. The release date is therefore perfectly chosen for early February 2008.
Of course, THE LOVED ONES are not reinventing the wheel, but they are one of the better bands in this genre. They can play, they have touring experience, and they know how a pop-punk song should sound to get people jumping along. Stylistically, the band can be placed somewhere between adult Good Charlotte and young NO FX.
The band is definitely fun, and anyone who enjoys this kind of punk rock will have a great time with THE LOVED ONES.
