I generally enjoy most of what Dave features on IYMI so I’m not really exactly sure how I missed How Do We Jump This High? for so long. Anyhow, the band features former members of Get Bent (a band I totally loved based solely on their demo) as well as members of Frame. So yeah, what you get on the band’s Deep Stationary EP is not too dissimilar from Get Bent, but more on the emo side of things than the pop punk side so if you like that band (or Latterman for what it’s worth) you’ll probably like How Do We Jump This High? but you’ll also like this band if you like some of the newer wave of emo bands like Algernon Cadwallader or Bridge And Tunnel. Like a perfect melding of urgently shouted but melodic vocals and noticeably noodling mathy emo guitar parts, Deep Stationary is the real deal. Download it for free from www.ifyoumakeit.com.
