<h4>Crisis in Hollywood :: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea</h4>

Once I put Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea in my car CD player I didn’t want to take it out. I’m sure I looked like a freak to other drivers on the roads as I belted out the lyrics and bounced around as I waited for the red light change. But hey, I couldn’t help myself; this CD had the “it” factor for me. I loved the music, the harmonies, and the simple but impactful lyrics. Lead singer Adrian Snyder’s vocals reminded me of Adam Lazzara from Taking Back Sunday. Most of the songs deal with love and relationships without being too sappy or cheesy.

The first song, The Fashion of the Christ, sets the tone and vibe of the CD with its heavy punk sound and high energy. Like most of the other songs on the album, Sin on my Lips had a catchy chorus I could not get out of my head. My favorite song was If Your Heart’s Out because it was catchy and I could see a lot of people relating to the lyrics. Stay was a sweet and tranquil song, that showcased the band's beautiful harmonies. The last song, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, had a funky beat to it that I really liked, and then in the middle they picked up the beat and energy so that it matched the first song’s tempo and mood.

Crisis in Hollywood formed in 2006 when friends Adrian Snyder, Logan Benton, Daniel Valery, and Andy Wamback left their former local bands. They built a following in Florida and late in 2006 they started touring the country. In 2007 the band signed to Financial Records and released Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. I can’t wait to return this CD to my car’s player!

Not only does the album suck tremendously, so does the guys in the band. They are rude fake and full of shit. This so called review was done by Andy Wambach the bands very own drummer! How sad is it that this band has to go to these kind of measures just to "feel good" about the piece of shit album they created. This band will go nowhere much like the rest of the wannabes in the Orlando Music scene. Adrian is a pussy, Logan is a fucking twat poser, and Andy haha what a fucking scrawny dickless loser. The other guitarist isn't even worth a mention.

A Crisis In Hollywood sucks. What a pathetic attempt at an album. One more thing, see them live and laugh at how tone deaf Adrian is. The pussy needs a studio to stay on key. Pathetic.

ooh... I think someone has a crush on the band!! Generally it's true love and only true love that can incite such passion. Oh, and I happen to know who my writers are... and this one definitly is NOT the drummer for Crisis in Hollywood. Nice try Johnny Boy!
