Album Review: I, Said The Sparrow - Deathpop

Don't be fooled by the 'punk-pop' tag applied to bolshy Perth quartet I, Said The Sparrow – there's little punk about their debut, seemingly cobbled together from unwanted bits of Neon Trees and Good Charlotte albums. The band themselves deliver many punchy riffs worthy of a head-bang or two, but when vocalist Sean Hendry opens his gob, he sinks the album into an inescapable bog of tired caterwauling rock. 043HELLO and December, like much of Deathpop, are over-produced and over-styled immediate rock rushes that are ultimately instantly forgettable.
