Over The Line is probably the weakest track here. And even then it's not that bad of a song.

Guitars do their job. They're good but not as unique as the vocalist. I agree on Over The Line.

Finally checked this out and it's really good. I like it a lot better than their last album and definitely see the TSSF comparisons.

This challenges The Wonder Years for pop-punk album of 2013.



Of all the strong 2013 pop-punk releases, Albany quintet State Champs achieve the best combination of pop & punk on their debut LP 'The Finer Things'. Produced by New Found Glory’s Steve Klein, this up-tempo album sees tight musicianship & memorable melodies fuse to result in a barrage of infectious hooks. Derek DiScanio's passionate vocals deliver numerous sing-along refrains & above-average lyrics, while propulsive drumming & melodic guitar-leads capture attention. It's not ground-breaking by any means, but this consistent LP displays a well-crafted song-writing nous that is sure to please. Recommended Tracks: Remedy, Elevated, Over the Line & Critical.
