OCEAN AVENUE is the sound of a young band flexing its imaginative muscle and emerging from behind the one-sound-fits-all sonic shadow of Green Day to produce a singularly distinctive collection of songs
but their call to arms isn't preachy
seems like a bid for adult alternative airplay
bossa novas and soulful ruminations on Charlie Brown's world becomes cherishable
and features their son Joaquin and a church choir
