Bipolaroid, the second album from American pop-rock band The Scenic, suggested itself (on its cover) to fans of Taking Back Sunday. This recommendation couldn’t be more accurate, considering how reminiscent of their pop-rock peers The Scenic are upon first experiencing them. Even the image of children on Bipolaroid’s cover art prompts recollection of the... Read More
