Where You Thought You Would Be
Review Summary: Torchbearers of Wilkes-Barre emo put in a valiant first effort. If Kansas Had Trees are not a band from Kansas. I know, I'm shaking in my boots about it too. I was all prepared to talk about The Get Up Kids and the connection between midwest emo and pop punk, but now I won't, because these rascals are from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Jokes aside, If Kansas Had Trees already have big enough shoes to fill without worrying about the gaping expanse of the American Midwest. Being an emo band from Eastern PA and carrying the torch for bands such as Title Fight and Tigers Jaw is no easy task, but IKHT comes pretty dang close to capturing the flag with their debut album.
