Four years after the release of Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! and we’re finally receiving the next instalment from hellogoodbye. But don’t be expecting a replication of their previous stuff at all! Would It Kill You? is completely stripped of any electronic powerpop you’d be anticipating from hellogoodbye, in exchange for raw, ukulele inspired indie rock.

The departure from pure power-pop, has allowed the boys to really develop and explore their musicality on this record and the end product is an optimistic collection of humble love songs.  Lyrics wise, hellogoodbye stick to what they’re good at with pure simplicity reiterated from start to finish, but this doesn’t mask the fact that the record is a mature progression for the group. Lead singer, Forrest Kline gives such an honest performance on the record, his vocal performance more natural than the electronic alterations fans would be used it. Would It Kill You? is track after track of catchy, indie pop that will excite loyal fans as well as attract a whole new audience.
