Commemorative Cup - For a Limited Time Only

One nice thing about this time of year is that we can play catch up on releases we might have missed or simply slipped through the cracks. Boston's Commemorative Cup released For a Limited Time Only back in November. Co-fronted by Ben Husk and Kevin McGrath, Commemorative Cup is their "popunkemo" project. The songs on this EP aren't from the ultra-mainstream style that made it all the way to TRL. Songs like "33s" and "Layers" are more of an earlier, less destined to be hits style that was rooted in punk and indie rock. This is more along the lines of The Get Up Kids, The Promise Ring, and Piebald. It's music like the songs on For a Limited Time Only that first made me love emo in the 90's, before I knew it was its own genre. Husk and McGrath have perfectly nailed our nostalgia button on this one, and if you had told me it was a lost release from 1998, I'd completely believe you.
