On last September’s Young Luck EP, Sorority Noise bridges the gap between pop punk and alternative rock. At just under eight minutes, the four-song collection is a quick escapade into catchy hooks and precise rhythms. Opening track “Queen Anne’s Lace,” with its sea of distorted guitars and nonchalant vocals, should be enough to get you hooked, while later songs “Mediocre at Best” and “Still Shrill” explore the feelings of insecurity inherent to most twenty-somethings. On the former, vocalist Cameron Boucher laments “Nobody likes me – that’s what I tell myself.” The latter tugs at pop punk the most, with choppy guitar riffs and shouted back-up vocals as Boucher decides that to “close my eyes to feel more like myself” after comparing himself to his mother and ex-girlfriends. Young Luck is available on Bandcamp now and the band is nearing the completion of its next as-yet-untitled release. – Jake Reed
