Philmont
Oh Snap EP
Forefront Records
Grade – C+

The band Philmont is a newly signed group to the Forefront label.  Their style of pop/punk caught the labels attention from the Cornerstone stage last summer.  The band produced the EP in advance of their full-length project due out early 2009.

The EP is too short to make a real evaluation, however, the one track that stood out the most was “The Difference” which I would say is a little less punk and more pop – probably why I liked it more.  Another favorite is “Photosynthetic,” a song about the impact of social websites like MySpace and Facebook.  People have always judged Christians by their behavior more so than their words and the band points out in this song that what we display on our web pages says more about what’s in our hearts than what we claim to be.
