(Metropolis, 2008)
Discovery: I had been hearing some good things about The A.K.A.s from various sources, including the internets and music magazines, so I had them in my head as a band to check out when I went down to the Bamboozle Left Festival (Irvine, CA) in 2008. I liked them then but didn't fully appreciate their set until they toured with Anti-Flag. This time I had their CD and knew more of the music, which for me always results in a better concert experience.
Result: This band always reminds me of Halloween with the spooky keyboards. Those same keyboards often make the songs sound very similar, so I don't really listen to this album that much, but the live show is great to check out. Good music if you feel like fight dancing.
