I'm going to guess that The Pettit Project was submitted by +81.

Alfred is right that it's in an "uncomfortable place" due to sounding like your average kiddy copycat powerpop band, but has the stylings of good pop punk from the 90s that I enjoy. It actually reminds me of Lagwagon, musically, but the vocals suck. This kind of stuff makes me sad because it makes me realize that people not into those 90s bands that I like see them in the same way that I/we see these newer copycats. Too bad. Kids need to stop watering down music (though to be fair the 90s pop punk I like was probably then seen as watered down punk/hardcore...So yes, 90s pop punk is a guilty pleasure of mine

).
