If you think the vocals sound familiar, it's because they're done by Scott Silletta (former vocalist/guitarist from Plankeye). And yes they do cover the POLICE song, "Every Breath You Take," which was previously re-done by some rapper. This cd does rock, though. It's total power pop with noisy guitars and harmonized vocals. Kind of like a really poppy punk band.

I went to see mxpx way back in March and fanmail and shades apart were opening for them. They rocked the place . Especially Fanmail they are a realy awesome band and there cd is cool!

I was going to hear MxPx and Fanmail and Shades Apart were opening for them. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the entire concert, beginning to end, song for song, every single band. These songs are smartly written and excellently executed. My favorites being Rock & Roll Star (which they appropriately opened the show with) and the Police remake of Every Breath You Take. I've heard many versions of this song, never coming close to the original, but somehow a punk twist is what the song truly needed. It reminded me of the Shades Apart version of Tainted Love awhile back and how good that one was. I'm saving my 5 star review for when Fanmail releases their full length release!

Get this: one night about 2 months ago, I heard "Every Breath You Take" by The Police on the radio. And I got to thinking how cool it would be if a punk band did a version of it. The next night I went to a concert where Fanmail was playing, who I had never heard of before. I knew the name, just not the sound. Well, they put on an AWESOME show, and what do ya know, the last song they played was a punk version of "Every Breath You Take". The boys read my mind, and they did NOT let me down. Their album rox, the music rox, and they rock as people as well. This is a definent must have for anyone with some taste and money.

This cd is not normal christian rock cd. THis is a cd that both secular and christian fans can enjoy. If you like Weezer then you'll love Fanmail.

theres even a rock remix of the puff daddy song I'll be missing you it has the old guitar player from slick shoes.
