i dunno a band cloning itself isn't that farfetched, happens all the time... it would have been better to find two different bands with similiar songs... there is definitely a pop punk song formula based on blink-182. plus a number of bands that scream and riff in the same place ala thursday.
i'm repeating myself for the umpteeth time, but i swear guitar center sells a emo band in box kit, complete with name generating software, guitar effects, an updated version of "dress of success", a box of hot topic provided accessories, a fake book, and a fillin in the blank journal in which to write the whole world sucks lyrics.
