Full review
Hellogoodbye are part of a new wave of music taking a mix of electronic and pop and getting in on the rock scene. It is a different type of music that is accepted by some people and outcasted by others. This EP is what made Hellogoodbye big. This has helped launch the success of the new album Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! which has made them internationally known.
This is definitely an original genre of music for music lovers to appreciate. It won't be long until everybody has heard of these as they are currently heading to the UK to do some festivals. They will be big soon and this is the EP that got things going.

The track listing for the EP is as follows:
1. Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn
2. Call 'N' Return
3. Bonnie Tyler Shakedown 2k1
4. Jesse Buy Nothing.. Go To Prom Anyways
5. Dear Jamie, Sincerely Me
6. Bonnie Tyler Shakedown 2k4

I'll just go through a few of the songs to give you a taste of what it is about:

Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn
This is the biggest song I think off this EP. If you have heard anything from this I would assume it would be this song. It starts off the EP and opens with the electronic sound that this is all about. The band is what might be referred to as very cute. 'All the lyrics that I wrote, not as smart as the words you spoke. All the drawings I have drew were never ever as cute as you.' The lyrical content may be what has got these popular with the emo scene.

Call 'N' Return
This is the first song that I heard by Hellogoodbye. Not quite sure how I came by it but when I heard it I loved it. A nice happy sort of cheery tune that definitely makes me smile whenever I hear it. I never forgot it after I first heard it, well worth a listen.

Bonnie Tyler Shakedown
This is a sort of remix of 'My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean' in the chorus but to a slightly different tune, and a few different lyrics. They've adopted the song and made it their own I think it's very well done.

Anyway, that's all I'll go through. This EP may not be to everybody's taste but it is definitely worth a listen if you have the chance.
