Castle Songs

Mixtapes have not been a band for long, but they're already become quite popular. Hailing from Ohio, the band plays some catchy pop punk with vocals from male and female. They also mix in acoustic songs with full band. This release is just a two song release from Death To False Help. They're short but catchy songs.

Song one is the very brief "Cause I'm A Genius". It features ska guitar playing backed with a nice bass line. Like I mentioned though, the song is just too brief to get into. The second song though; it's an acoustic number that just makes the listener laugh. "Hey Baby" is a great song on so many levels. The lyrics are hilarious and the guitar is soft and sweet. Castle Songs features two catchy little numbers by Mixtapes, but, it's really hurt by the short length of both. However, even with the short songs, Mixtapes shows that they can write catchy numbers and it's easy to understand why they're gaining popularity. It's a good thing, too.
