Big City Rock may have just given us the perfect pop record of the year. Although the 10-song album clocks in at just 35 minutes, not one second of that time is wasted. The Los Angeles quintet moves seamlessly between a night in Clubland ("All Of The Above") to a naked heart conversation ("I Believe In You") to a fun romp that takes you back to the height of 60’s soul ("Kind"). Along the way there's a dash of slacker humor ("Sink"), a moving call for peace ("Shelter") and an unapologetic love song ("A Better Place"). If listeners at times think of latter-day U2, it's probably no surprise as Big City Rock shares a knack for creating almighty pop songs absent of unnecessary ornamentation and full of a wide range of genuine emotions. A true contender for the American pop crown.––Jedd Beaudoin

Normally when I buy a new CD I listen to the entire thing, decide which songs I like, and listen to those on repeat. With this CD I listen to the ENTIRE THING on repeat. There are not any songs on here that I don't enjoy listening to. Every song makes you wanna bop around and get up and dance. Big City Rock are an amazing set of talented fellas.

It seems to be that I find my favorite artists when I see them open for other artists that I love. Big City Rock would be one of these bands that are at the top. I wasn't prepared to be awed by this wonderful group when I saw them open for Jason Mraz, but I was. The songs were catchy and I just wanted to dance. Especially for "All of the Above" when I surprisingly knew some of the words. I looked to my sister and my friend and they did as well. My personal favorite song would be "Human" which is very catchy and WONDERFUL to sing along with. Believe me, if you like music, you'll probably love Big City Rock. I know I do.
