I really liked 'Kids these days' and this is a great follow up. C+Decapolis 1999Reviewed by TomThis is the second full length release from this melodic pop punk band from New Jersey. In my opinion this release shows major improvements from their first full length "Kids These Days". The novelty of this CD is that it was produced by Mike Herrera from MxPx, but there is so much more to this CD then the fact that it was produced by someone famous. I have a feeling we are going to hear a lot…
