On its second full-length album for Epitaph Records, Matchbook Romance presents a remarkably well-crafted set of pop-punk tunes. While the emo tag still applies, the upstate New York ensemble confidently aims for a wider rock scope on these 11 tracks, including the blistering "You Can Run, But We'll Find You," which showcases the band's razor-sharp guitar work, and "Monsters," an anthem that pulls listeners in with sheer melodic force. Those who expected great things from Matchbook Romance will be pleased, if not surprised, by VOICES.
