The next Fallout Boy? Chicago’s The Alumni Club has what it takes
Lookout for The Alumni Club. They're touring, and they're one of the best local power/punk/pop bands I've heard in awhile.
It’s not too often that I get to plug bands before most people find out about them simply because there aren’t that many that are pluggable--but about once a month I stumble across a band in the Chicago area that seems to be a bit ahead of the curve for their genre. In 2000, it was Thrice. Shortly thereafter, it was Thursday, before them it was Saves the Day, Dashboard Confessional, Boysetsfire, and I think I may have just found my most recent potential break out band…
The band is The Alumni Club, and they’ve just posted a music video from their newest album, Up Early and Out Late called, “About Last Night”. Fallout Boy seems to have revolutionized the power pop/punk genre, and I think the guys from The Alumni Club give them a pretty good run for their money--Even Sans Jay-Z to do their intro.
Their new EP is just $5 on Amazon, or you can surf on to those communists over their at Apple and pick it up on iTunes. Check out the video below:
They mentioned being a “top 40 band in Chicago” on their Myspace. I think they can go alot higher than that.
