2AM Club – What Did You Think Was Going To Happen

Their debut album was released just a couple weeks ago and already it has found its way to being the soundtrack to my morning routines – a coveted spot. I first heard of 2AM Club when their debut song “Worry About You” appeared on the ABC Family hit television series Pretty Little Liars. I’ve been hooked ever since! It is difficult for me to review albums because I usually find myself being too nice. I’ve grown up supporting local acts because I know the work and dedication that goes into making and album so it is hard for me to judge otherwise.

2AM Club is reminiscent of a boy band. They are today’s modern version of the stereotypical boy bands such as N’Sync and Backstreet Boys, but they are not heartthrobs. They have tossed a little hip hop into their poppy mix, which gives them a slight advantage. They’ve got the catchiest songs, but not the best lyrics. If I could compare them to a boy band it would be LFO, the band that produced hit songs like “Summer Girls” or “Girl on TV” with strings of lyrics that don’t make any sense at all.

If you don’t over analyze the lyrics too much, you will actually find yourself enjoying the album. The songs are fun – there’s no denying that and they’re fun to sing a long to. I would imagine that these guys could put on a great show! Of course, you’ll have to let me know – they just happen to be on tour w/ Mike Posner right now.
