Having already shared the stage with such indie radio stars as Alkaline Trio and Superdrag, and a popular debut record to back it up with, the Red Hot Valentines are a college music act rising rapidly. Their latest EP Calling Off Today, a follow up to the this springs second full length release, is yet another showcase of catchy pop-punk songs.
Fast paced guitars drive the title track with a sweeping keyboard overlaid for good measure. "Don't Bother" wields the great line "Strawberries, blood and a long walk home" in outlining its tale of hopelessness. The Enhanced CD single format gives a video for "Bring Back the Good Times" catching the Red Hot Valentines in action and supplements the three songs on Calling Off Today ably. It's carefree summer fare for driving your Dad's car with the top down and no particular destination.
Envision a gutsier Matchbox 20 - a more groomed version of Green Day. For this time of year, when searing hot days and long tepid nights are the order, this light brand of rock is almost necessity.
