5.0 out of 5 stars
these guys never cease to amaze me, excellent!,
By Delete Account (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 37 Everywhere (Audio CD)
Punchline never ceases to amaze me as being one of the outright hardest working bands that I've ever seen, and that's just coming from a fans point of view. 37 Everywhere is an absolutely amazing creation that will keep you listening until the very last second of the album.Which is about the time I started over at Track 1 again. Rinse, lather, and repeat. The songs are filled with heart and soul, which I can feel as I'm listening to their lyrics, and that's nearly extinct among some of the emerging artists today. Punchline's 37 Everywhere is a true diamond in a mine full of coal. The track that really stood out to me from 37 Everywhere is The Getaway. Steve Soboslai, Guitarist and Vocalist, relates that he originally came up with the song on a plane en route to meet the rest of the band for a tour, and the melody became stuck in his head. How do you remove such a catchy melody? You don't. I can really identify with Steve; this damn tune has been stuck in my head for at least 2 weeks now! Thank you Steve : ) Even in selecting my favorite songs on 37 Everywhere, I'd technically have to list every single one. This is one of those awesome CD's that you stick in your car's system and can listen to it all the way through. The new album is definitely not one of those mediocre albums where you skip around to the 3 tracks that you can actually stand. The live show is another testament of how hard this band is willing to work to suck you into their awesome performances. They'll do whatever it takes for you to get up and shake what your momma gave you! I brought a friend to one of their shows a while back and it didn't take long for him to get out there and starting rocking out. The fans are dedicated to the cause; I've seen it in action. I've never seen more pictures on MySpace of people all around the globe taking pictures with their home digital cameras of themselves and the new album, sporting the latest and greatest production from Punchline. If you're debating whether or not to purchase 37 Everywhere, then go ahead and sample some of the songs on the band's Purevolume page. Trust me, after you hear the brilliance that these guys have poured into every single song on 37 Everywhere, you won't stop listening. Rinse, lather, and repeat. This new album wont leave your CD player.

Punchline is the Man,

Yep, these guys have my heart and my ears. Not only are they personable and love their fans, but this cd is so much fun to listen to and once you've seen them perform live you see images of them in your head when you listen. They are also hilarious. I definitely recommend buying the album, listening to it constantly, and then buying tickets to see them live.

Amz. Asm. Trf.,
This review is from: 37 Everywhere (Audio CD)
As vocalist/guitarist Steve Soboslai would say, "amz." As bassist Chris Fafalios would say, "pumpkin pie."Simply put, this album is phenomenal. It's a very rare occasion when I pick up a CD and don't take it out of my stereo or listen to anything else for a week straight, but this album had that effect on me. Going full throttle into the first track, "Flashlight," Punchline shows you right away that this album is not only going to be catchy, but the well written, driving music and lyrics will pull you through the whole album and have you singing along after a few listens. The second track, "Don't Try This At Home," the band describes the feeling many young adults experience growing up-- uncertainty and fear, but with hope somewhere deep down. The first time I heard this song was at one of their shows in February; the verse "I'm sorry life isn't perfect/ but I promise we won't starve/ in a small, dark apartment/ with big, bright hearts" stuck with me for the 2 months after that until I had the album in my hands. Through the course of the album, the band can take you from your happiest moment (Green Light) to anger with a close friend (The Getaway) to heartbroken (For the Second Time, How Could You), to questioning your fate (Caller 10) to 33 more emotions in between. After 39 minutes, the album closes out with "Exactly," a more mellow and jazzy tune sung primarily by new guitarist Greg Wood, featuring a "motivational rant" by bassist Fafalios; for those already familiar with the band, think along the lines of "Play" on the Rewind EP. For those worried about the change of guitarists between this album and Action, don't. Greg's playing is solid and the addition of his vocals adds a welcome contrast; you can easily tell the difference between his voice and Steve's, but it works out nicely and sounds great. Through a few albums and years of hard work, Punchline has proven themselves to be a solid band that writes those kinds of albums that you still listen to on a regular basis years after you first heard them. Add 37 Everywhere to that list of albums sure to have staying power.
