Comment: It was in the early or in the mid of 90`s when Green Day was blamed in attemptions of the commercializing of punk music. Of course, the indictment was but ridiculous if to regard the bleak fact that the kick-off point of this style related to the Sex Pistols was just one of the business projects by deceased Malcolm McLaren. So nothing in their face, though. The Canadian quartet Shortcut To Last from Windsor continues to plod in the vein of happy punk/pop punk/easycore, resembling of such bands as Green Day, Blink-182, Sum 41, Simple Plan and many others. In a more concrete language, those bombastic high-energized guitar riffs, massive singalong choruses, variegated with interesting backing in drumming are the main ingredients of the album. All is properly produced and thereby possibly ready to conquer the higher levels of the Billboard.
