(5 Out of 5)

Pop geeks listen up because Danger Radio is about to hook your eardrums with their clever blend of almost 90’s boy-band driven dance tracks combined (and saved) with modern pop rock riffs.  Used and Abused, recorded with Mike Green (Paramore, The Matches) and Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Maroon 5) is a dangerously catchy, mainstream sounding album that would appeal to fans of HelloGoodbye to Maroon 5.  Danger Radio shows a massive amount of maturation from their 2007 release, the Punch Your Lights Out EP and takes their blend of danceable rock to the next level.

“One More Chance,” is the rock song Justin Timberlake never recorded, while “Your Kind (Speak to Me)” hints toward Michael Jackson influences only with more guitars and energy.  The title track is an anthemic piano-driven track that is sure to have listeners smiling and singing along.

Ultimately, Danger Radio is on the fast track to stardom with Used and Abused and for fans of anything pop, this record is sure to please with the utmost satisfaction.

Suggested Listening: “So Far Gone,” “You All Believe” and “Used and Abused”
