Brendan Brown albums Smart, melodic, pop/punk/metal in the grand tradition, with stylistic nods to what seems like every genre practitioner, from Blink 182 to Cheap Trick to the early Who. The songs here are full of anthemic choruses, huge washes of guitar, and appealingly winsome singing by writer/guitarist Brendan Brown. Lyrically, there's a certain snot-nosed suburban teenage sensibility reminiscent of Weezer, and for those with long memories, even the first Dictators album, although Brown's mostly interested in wordplay. Among the album's best numbers are the cheerfully hook-laden "Teenage Dirtbag" (which brings to two the number of puzzling references to Iron Maiden that appear here); "Love is a Mutt From Hell," a very funny he said-she said song with a glorious, soaring chorus; and the equally melodic "Hump 'Em N' Dump 'Em," which appears to be about a one-night stand gone horribly wrong (she eats his cat). Basically there's nothing here that isn't rewarding on some level. A great debut. Wheatus: Brendan Brown (vocals, guitar); Rich Liegey (vocals, bass); Phillip A. Jimenez (harmonica, keyboards, percussion); Peter Brown (drums, percussion, background vocals). Additional personnel: Pipi Longscratchings (scratches).

Brendan Brown CD discography Boston's Vanna play spirited hardcore with literate lyrics, eloquent metal guitar squeals, and a surprising undergirding of melody. After a number of promising EPs, their exhilarating debut album is a confident statement of metalcore purpose, with hints of alternate directions to come. While songs like "Magnetic Knives" bear all the screamo watermarks, "The Things He Carried" verges on classic rock and the demented "We Ate the House" is an eccentric fling with prog-punk.

Personnel: Evan Pharmakis (vocals, guitar); Chris Preece, Brendan Brown (vocals); Nicholas Lambert, Matt Bayles (guitar); Brandon Davis (drums). Audio Mixer: Matt Bayles.

Brendan Brown discography On Too Soon Monsoon, Wheatus' third full-length, self-production and engineering brings even the hugest pop melody right back down to earth. This would be a detriment to most bands, but it somehow makes Wheatus' music even more immediate, because Brendan B. Brown writes these intensely personal songs that combine stories of tough love in the 21st century with bittersweet childhood memories of ...
