Bixler - Self-titled EP

Typically, a four-song EP wouldn’t pique my interest, but the description of Bixler did, so I gave the CD a spin and I’m glad I did.

Despite the small number of songs, Bixler comes out swinging with huge sounding tracks. It’s obvious that this infectious EP is just the beginning of something much larger. With a foundation that rests almost entirely on pop-rock and pop-punk, yes Bixler is keeping it alive, the band will have their songs featured on MTV’s My Super Sweet Sixteen, Real World Road Rules Extreme Challenge, not to mention a couple more.

Armed with a good start and some touring experience with Yellowcard, Feable Weiner and The Pink Spiders, Bixler could just be the CPR pop-punk needs. The track “October” gives Dashboard Confessional a run for their money, while the energetic opener “Falling to Pieces” will have kids thirsting for more. I give Bixler’s self-titled EP a 7 (out of 10). It will be interesting to see what a full-length sounds like from these guys.

Suggested Listening: It’s only four songs, give them all a listen!
