Adventure Starts Tomorrow – Select Start EP

What to say about pop punk group ADVENTURE STARTS TOMORROW? They’re not terrible, they’re not brilliant, they’re just sort of… average. It’s frustrating to hear bands like this as they’ve obviously got talent but for some reason they don’t gel together quite as well as they should.
