Midtown's debut album Save the World Lose the Girl showcases their melodic, slightly emo-influenced punk-pop sound. The group's deft harmonies and shared lead vocals give songs like "No Place Feels Like Home," "Resting Sound," "Direction," and "Just Rock and Roll" extra appeal. A strong debut, Save the World Lose the Girl reveals Midtown as an accomplished and surprisingly complex punk band.
