Somewhere stuck between post-rock, rock, and acoustic is where you’ll find Driving On City Sidewalks. Their debut EP Where Angels Crowd to Listen runs the gamut of all three genres yet manages to sound more peaceful than you’d expect. Each song is well-crafted but not unique enough to be memorable. In the midst of my first listen I quickly drew comparisons to Straylight Run. Explosions in the Sky, and Appleseed Cast.

Now, we all know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but when it verges on plagiarism you’ve got issues. Honestly, I don’t blame the band itself for intentional copying because this EP proves how talented they are if they can be easily mistaken for their influences. In the meantime, I’ll wait for a full-length and some time to mature. And in the end, I’m confident I’ll be thankful I was here at the beginning. -tunereview
