American High – “U.N. Article 14” Review

Megan Ridgway

American High- U.N. Article 14 Review:

American High is more of an old-time pop group. Listening to American High, I can hear a small resemblance of All-American Rejects in them. This album and the songs included in it focus on an older type of pop, which I believe is unique. They are not like any other bands right now, trying to keep up with what everyone else is doing. If you are looking for a group that plays a more upbeat tune yet, has a sense of the old times, this could be the next group you should tune in for to hear some music that you can dance to.
