"By Surprise are one of my bands of the Year for sure. I cant stop listening to them. They are from New Jersey and they sound like an awesome mix of mid-west 90s emo ala The Get Up Kids and the Promise Ring. The vocals are raspy, the guitars are jangly and the songs are super catchy. I'm yet to see them live and really do hope they visit our little island one day. By Surprise have the most beautiful and clever lyrics and just plain rule. If you are currently loving Algernon Cadwallader then I'm 99.9% sure you will love this. Get Involved."
