Thoughts:  My initial thought is Panic at the Disco! and that may stay true.  They claim inspiration from Maroon 5 (yuck), INXS (hell yeah), T. Rex (sure), and the 1975 (meh), but everytime I see the name my brains wants it to stand for Livers, not Lovers.

From Lafayette, Louisiana.  Five guys in the band.  Lots of drums and synths, and a little too much effects on the voice.  Their songs have been featured in Netflix's Love is Blind, Netflix's The Ultimatum, and the Zac Efron film Iron Claw.  Which is weird.  But I guess that movie was a historical artifact, so maybe not so weird.

I have been listening for a while now, and while it is not terribly offensive or anything, it definitely is under my skin right now.  I think Maroon 5 is an apt comparison.  So, if that is your jam, then give this a chance.  If you never need to hear those songs again, then let's get this over with.

No albums since their 2018 initial single.  One 5 song 2024 EP called Midnight Fantasy that gathered up some singles from the years before that.  The top song is the last on that EP, "Iconic" with 566k streams.

You hear that Panic! At The Disco 80's synth rock ripoff right there?  I'm sure this would be very fun to hear in a big crowd of people jumping and dancing and partying down.  Only one other tune in their catalog breaks the 100k streams level.  "Dancing With a Broken Heart" fires up 168k streams.

Here's your taste of Maroon 5/Adam Levine action.  Again, this is fine.  Completely unoffensive.  But also not interesting to me at all.  If this is your jam, I hope you love the show!
