Even All Time Low vocalist Alex Gaskarth makes an appearance on the track "Disconnect." Vocalist AJ Perdomo belting out how a girl and a boy are floating away slowly. Besides catchy vocals, this EP also offers crafty guitar work. Throughout the ep, there isn’t one dull moment lacking upbeat riffs and catchy lines that will be stuck in your head for days.

But to anyone looking for a band similar to a catchy Third Eye Blind, All Time Low, or The Starting Line.. Listen to The Dangerous Summer. If You Could Only Keep Me Alive reminds me a lot of Cartel’s Ransom EP. Not only the catchiness, but how many times I’ve played this and haven’t got board. Now if these four high school kids don't impress you, just give up on pop punk.

Score: 8.5
