Now here, for your listening pleasure, the tracks...

1) Harmless fun time debut   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Damone came up with a real winner with their second album Out Here All Night but there are fun times to be had in the company of their debut as well. With a different line up prevalent on this album there are surprising few differences in overall character to their more well known second album.Damone play vibrant power pop. There are some pop-punk influences in some of the time signatures and ambience of the numbers but I'd basically put this on a par with generic power pop played with verve and spirit. In Noelle Leblanc the band are lucky enough to have a singer who isn't a vocal gymnast but has a certain `X' factor to her delivery that sucks you in and she has that invaluable capacity to croon utterly cliched ditties yet make them seem fresh.That's not to deny David Pino his due credit for writing every note on this uplifting if somewhat naive guilty pleasure. For their second album the band had to rebuild a writing partnership between the reconstituted band, but here it's all the David Pino show and the guy will hopefully have a future in the music business somewhere, though really once your over 25 you really shouldn't have any business actually getting up and performing this sort of stuff. And what is it with the repeated use of the car wash as a vocal motif?The real difference between Damones first two albums are that on From the Attic the songs are just a touch too juvenile and wistful without enough bite whereas on the follow up your presented with less of a guilty pleasure and a far more encompassing listen. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that their second album is far better but if you got that and liked it - as I did - then pick this up cheap and you won't be disappointed because it has a few gems on it that complement Out Here All Night.

2) I freestyle wherever I go (4.5)   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Damone is one of those bands that seem to be having so much fun that it rubs off on you. Out Here All Night had that feel and it's no different on this CD, From The Attic. As much fun as it is to listen to them, I also have to admit that they're not the most talented group of musicians either. I don't care though, Noel has an excellent voice that is both powerful and vulnerable and the band proves to be completely competent throughout the CD.I know Damone is getting more attention now but it still baffles me that they're not way more popular. They have that punk/pop niche to their sound and their lyrics are relateable. Between the two releases, I have to prefer this more than the new one. Both have strong qualities that make them memorable but From The Attic is short, to the point, and full of catchy tunes. Frustrated Unnoticed starts off the CD with some hilarious lyrics and a nice riff throughout. Up To You shows the more vulnerable side of Noel. The song is slow but has a strong pick-me-up during the chorus. Feel Bad Vibe really shouldn't be that great of a song but I can't help but love the chorus, other than that, it offers nothing spectacular. Overchay With Me is yet another standout. The surprising guitar solo serves as the main feature but Noel's voice sounds terrific as well. Carwash Romance has the same kind of attitude that Out Here All Night sports. Suffice to say, if you love that record you'll love this song. Leave Me Alone is the ending and it's the perfect place to have it. Noel feels a bit helpless in it, which serves the excellent guitar part through the verses. A definite highlight, it's just a shame it's so short.My favorite songs are Up To You, Feel Bad Vibe, Overchay With Me, At The Mall, and Leave Me Alone. If you hate Damone, From The Attic won't sway you opinion at all. For those of us who already love them this is a nice find. The guitar solos are a-plenty which helps out the pace of the CD greatly with it being so unbelievably short and anyone doubting Noel's ability as a frontwoman, well, I think she proves herself quite well here. There are a few songs that drag a little but for the most part From The Attic is an excellent listen, albeit a swift one.

3) Good Ol' Rock N Roll   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
It's really just that. Label it whatever you please, it's just a really good rock album. Period. Instead of 1 good song & 9 fillers, you get an album of good songs. Will it change the world? No. That said, it's that kind of album that can make your mood just that much better. If you like it loud and proud, then crank this one up!

4) Fun for the Fun Of It   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I think people need to take a step back and stop taking themselves so seriously. What's great about this album is that it's totally unpretentious pop with honest lyrics and a pleasant sounding voice to back them up. The word "pop" does not call upon hell, it's music that was meant to be enjoyed by many people, music that should make you feel good. Maybe it's because I'm a little older than the lyrics (19) but they hark back to a time when the only thing that was important in life was boys and the mall. It's completely reminiscent of a specific time and in that, just listening to the lead singer's self-deprecating lyrics and wishful thinking makes me smile. Enjoy it for what it is, we were all freshman in highschool once, right?

5) A lot of you just dont know what youre saying   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
maybe its cause half are prolly born in the late 80's or early 90's . i really think its that . the person who said about it being like 94'' all over again . well i can relate and agree . this is just one of those power pop alternative bands . there is no refrence of anything punk here . the fact that a lot of you are so young you use terms like nu-metal and sware anything that sounds like blink 182 is pop punk etc. . please research music more .i cant stand the fact you created this nu metal label , let alone the whole bashing of anything pop and running to untalented pop indie bands and worship them to feel good about yourselves or gain respect from others . the harder you kids try to label , the worse youre making this . this cd wasnt meant for ground breaking . its just supposed to be a fun alternative cd . im not into this band but even i noticed that upon listening to the songs ...
