Listenting to the new songs, I think the new album might be inspired by: New Order, The Cure, U2, Television, Echo & The Bunnymen, Girls Against Boys, Rush, Queen, Kiss, The Beach Boys, Generation X, The Stone Roses, A Flock Of Seagulls, The Motels, Joy Division, Peter Case, the Rappin' Reverend C. Dexter Wise III, Devo, and something called Slumber Party Suicide.
I might have forgotten something.
And I might have added a few things, too.
