Getting into the In Crowd...

If you are a female fronted Pop-Rock band, you're going to get the Hayley Williams comparison, its inevitable.  You are going to have to prove that you have enough substance and your own legs to stand on to break away from that.  Best Intentions is We Are the In Crowd's debut chance to do just that.  Released on October 4th by Hopeless Records, the band mixes honest love tunes with self assured songs to exes in the span of  a little over a half hour.  "Rumor Mill" was the lead single off the album, but "This Isn't Goodbye, it's BRB" is highly addictive.  "Exits and Entrances" is by far the band's best effort collectively on the record.  We Are the In Crowd's instrumentation excels with the guitar work, drums, and vocals all working around each other.   Produced again by Zachary Odom and Kenneth Mount, there are little to no curve balls from the band's EP, Guaranteed to Disagree.  However, Best Intentions definitely shows We Are the In Crowd's growth in the past year with more personal lyrics and different song structures being used.  Singer Taylor Jardine has been referred as a "harder" Kelly Clarkson recently, so perhaps the band's debut is a great way to gain their legs in this industry.
