Skyfox- Counter Counter Culture
by Tim Wenger
Denver pop-punk has finally been progressed. Instead of trying to be Blink-182, Skyfox has put out a record that is as modern as any record Denver has put out this year and as cool as the hippest coffee shop on Broadway. Front man Johnny Hill dives deep into his emotions and experiences in a record that is straight forward and brutally honest. Not a single song on Counter Counter Culture beats around the bush.
They incorporate elements of nearly all type of modern rock and presents it from a wide range of attitudes – “Drug in Me” is a mellow, almost ballad-like, internal reflection. The title track, “Counter Counter Culture,” throws out witty social commentary. Musically, solid lead guitar and guest instrumentals provide a solid edge and proves that pop-punk and alternative rock are not even close to worn out. A solid record, and one that should make not only the band but the team at Blasting Room proud.
