In 2007, a small band from Arkansas called PMToday released their first full length album, And Then The Hurricane. Unbeknownst to those who live outside the Midwest, Their debut features everything that a fan of pop-punk could want: strong, catchy vocals and lyrics, thoughtful songwriting, moderate technical skill, and a knack for hooks. Even without a record contract, PMToday has managed to tour the Midwest several times over and gain a large following.
And Then The Hurricane can be sorted into two song styles. There is the more indie leaning pop-punk songs, with effect-driven instrumentation, and well placed layering of guitar tracks to create an atmospheric tone, and the post-hardcore pop-punk songs, featuring more metal-tinged riffs and a faster pace. Album opener “Celebration” is of the former, with a slowly building guitar motif and lyrics mourning the passing of youth. It sets up the album well, working as a soft and introspective introduction.
