The Starting Line is the latest band ( once signed to We The Poeple Records ) that joined the Drive Thru Records roster - actually, The Movielife is the latest band, but “With Hopes Of starting Over” is the newest release from the label.

The EP conitains five songs, of which one is a cover song of Starship, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop us UNow”.If you heard the Starting Line’s songs that were on the Drive Thru sampler “Hello Wisonsin”, you have an idea of what the band sounds like: some poppy punk mixed with emo sound that reminds a lot of New Found Glory, and Blink182 type sound.

The five sons are not even enough to talk of anything in a decent way, probably this was released just to let the label fans start knowing this new band. Of course “Leaving” and “Greg’s Last Day” are two possible hits , becasue of their catchy chouruses, but in general I’d say The Starting Line is just like 1,000 other bands: songs about broken hearts, girls, love filled with some easy listening music.

Of course these four dudes had the luck to sign for Drive Thru Records, we just have to wait and see for their next full length album to say if they really deserve the attention they will surely get: in the meantime enjoy these five songs EP.
