There’s no doubt that critics will write Every Avenue off as Fall Out Boy wannabe’s, but screw that.  Every Avenue, may be easily compared to Fall Out Boy sonically and maybe even vocally, but is that such a bad thing?  After all there is nothing wrong with addictive hook-filled pop rock.  As many of Popular Underground readers know, I’m a sucker for pop whatever, so no one is going to hear me bitching about Shh. Just Go With It.

Every Avenue has done a stellar job of writing radio-worthy singles most noticeable on “Where Were You?” and “Chasing the Night.”  “Days of the Old” immediately sets the tone for Shh, with textbook pop-punk melodics.  For a younger band, Every Avenue webs thoughtful metaphors into their lyrics as seen on a track like “Boys Will Be Boys.”  It’s possible to see this band quickly join the ranks of bands like Girls Like Boys or even Simple Plan.  I found myself constantly tapping my pen along to the beats of these songs simply because they are so damn catchy. 

Shh is proof that a band doesn’t need to be mysterious or complex to be good.  They even do a good job on “Between You and I,” a piano-driven love song of sorts about replacing love with something else in life.

I give Shh. Just Go With It an 8 (out of 10) and I can only predict what the future holds for this young group of musicians. 

Suggested Listening:  “Between You and I,” “Where Were You?” and “Boys Will Be Boys”
