Transit is a Boston-based quintet that, on their latest EP Stay Home, makes me want to do just that and stay home listening to these six songs all night. These songs are filled with unabashedly passionate emotional hardcore that’s got (for good measure) one foot still in the pop punk pool. The guitars are technical without being the least bit mathy and Transit also shows off some awesome vocal interplay courtesy of their three vocalists. Stay Home is ever on point and even the token acoustic number that closes the EP doesn’t seem cliche and/or unnecessary (which is itself an amazing feat). I hadn’t been familiar with Transit prior to this, but Stay Home hits like a punch to the face and has made me damn sure that I’ll be chomping at the bit for a full-length. RIYL: Crime In Stereo, Small Towns Burn A Little Slower, (maybe) Polar Bear Club, etc…
