It’s poppy, punky, turbo-fueled and addictively hooky. “7 Degrees” is one step to pop-punk perfection, a genre-stomping romp across the spectrum of Egerton’s vast musical prowess. He plays all instruments on the album and wrote nearly everything himself.
Alternative Press has called his newest album Egerton’s his “triumphant return” to songwriting. Indeed, the Descendents and All icon has mastered the genre with 16 lyrically and sonically habit-forming tracks that feature a who’s-who of guest singers.
Included are bandmates Chad Price and Scott Reynolds (All) and Milo Aukerman (Descendents), as well as guests Tim McIlrath (Rise Against), Chris DeMakes (Less Than Jake), Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio), Joey Cape (Lagwagon), Mike Herrera (MxPx), Mark Vecchiarelli (Shades Apart) and more.
Yeah. You need to hear it for yourself.
