When you look at the cover of this single, you will think that the band is nothing but another pretty boy, Good Charlotte type band. On the basis of the sound of this single alone you might also come to this conclusion as the song is an upbeat poppy punk anthem. However, having listened to the album I can honestly say that not all of the bands tracks are like this and they also have a lot of much heavier tunes proving that they are talented musicians. This is a great breakthrough track as it is quite light hearted, and easy to listen to and would definitely have a mass appeal due to its radio friendly sound.
This Fonzie track is very well polished and shows that they can produce Pop Punk of the same standard as the greats. There is definitely a hint of Billie Joe Armstrong in the bands nasally vocals, and I think that this really works well for them. They are enough like Green Day to gain interest from their fans, yet original enough to be popular in their own right. Fonzie are a band that should be amazingly successful as they have driving guitar riffs, some amazing drum beats, and vocals that are perfectly produced to create an all round amazing sound.
The band definitely have a lot of talent and with their album I am sure that they will acquire a huge fan base as the music is Punk enough to attract hardened Punk Rock fans, yet also has incredible pop sensibilities which should allow the band to gain mass appeal and make ‘Fonzie’ one of the worlds best known Pop Punk bands. This track is nothing new or inspirational, but it is catchy and will encourage people to check out the bands full length which does contain some original and exciting tunes.
