When it comes to pop-punk or melodic punk or whatever you want to call it, it just doesn't get any smoother than Breaklights. The Austin-based band is back with another shot of tuneful punk rock that is destined to get stuck in your head within moments of first contact. "When You Talk" is the first single from the band's new album Wind Down (which will be releasing this summer on Wiretap Records). What I continue to appreciate about Breaklights is the way their songs evoke a '90s pop-punk feel without sounding derivative of any bands in particular. With its tight, polished sound; earworm melodies; heartfelt lyrics, and warm vocals (I would listen to Charlie sing the phone book), "When You Talk" is vintage Breaklights. And the music video for the song is an absolute hoot! I will have much more to write about Breaklights this spring and summer. Stay tuned!
