Review

Rolling Stone (p.80) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he Starting Line know how to make sweetly wordy pop out of over-the-top romantic naivete."
Alternative Press (p.121) - 5 out of 5 - "The best moments on BASED ON A TRUE STORY come in the form of long exhales: meditative guitar dirges that recall a time when underground emotional punk bands had no business infiltrating commercial radio."

Title Note

The Starting Line: Kenny Vasoli (vocals, guitar, Wurlitzer piano, harpsichord, synthesizer, glockenspiel, bass instrument, bongos); Mike Golla (guitar, celesta, percussion); Matt Watts (guitar); Tom Gryskiewicz (drums, percussion).

Recording information: Mission Sound Studios, Brooklyn, New York; Bay 7, Valley Village, CA.

In going from pop-punk neophytes on their 2002 full-length debut, SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT, to more accomplished tunesmiths on the 2005 follow-up, BASED ON A TRUE STORY, the Starting Line achieved a surprising level of success. Although sugarcoated angst continues to be the main currency of these Pennsylvania natives, their songs this time around address the pitfalls accompanying fame. Financial demands prime the pump of insecurity amid the stop-and-start time changes of "Inspired by the $." Despite such woes, the quintet still marvels at how fast rock-star status hit them, within the choppy riffs and whip-smart rhythms of "Autography."

Of course, with the members barely into their early 20s, the trials and tribulations of romance are never far away. When vocalist Kenny Vasoli isn't confessing to missing his significant other on "Stay Where I Can See You," he's defiantly stepping away from a broken relationship within the confines of the anthemic "Cut! Print It." Incorporating decidedly non-punk instrumentation (harpsichord and glockenspiel) into the Starting Line's beloved emo sound, BASED ON A TRUE STORY opens an intriguing new chapter for the band.
