Matt Watts music CDs With an average age of 21, the Starting Line on its debut SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT is more than qualified to reflect the preoccupations of its audience. It's also entitled to marvel at its phenomenal success, which it does to good effect on "Given the Chance" ("There's not a day that I can't say all this time I'm living out my dream"). The band ...

Matt Watts albums The third full-length from punk-pop quartet the Starting Line hones the group's fizzy mixture of pop hooks, emo expressiveness, and chugging rock assault. Lead-off tracks "Direction" and "21" are fine examples of TSL's energetic, melody-heavy blast. Produced by Grammy-nominated studio ace Howard Benson, DIRECTION gleams like the major-label release it is, but maintains plenty of the group's youthful, alternative, ear-snagging vigor. This is a record for ...

Matt Watts albums Pop-punk band Starting Line present five songs on the 2003 EP, entitled MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME. With the success of Dashboard Confessional's strum-and-mope acoustic rock, it's not surprising that the Starting Line -- a pop/punk band with obvious talent but few original ideas -- would put together an E.P. of similarly executed emo. If the group's normal 'electric guitar, bass and drums' delivery is pretty innocuous, its unplugged approach isn't groundbreaking either, but it's pretty darn appealing.
