Slotting comfortably in with the general direction of pop-leaning punk in the 2000s, post-hardcore act A Skylit Drive deploy the now familiar formula of alternating angst-ridden screaming (growling) with soaring, melodic (sung) choruses. While the Lodi, California-based six-piece's third release, ADELPHIA, doesn't explore any groundbreakingly original territory, the album's savvy blend of astringent metalcore and screamo influences, combined with infectiously catchy emo-style vocals--delivered in a nosebleed register by vaguely Geddy Lee-sounding front man Mike Jagmin--makes clear that the band do what they do very well.
