This Beautiful Republic

I think that I have seen comments about this band, but, they are new to me....and, my kids really like the song "The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance. Do you think this band has a similar sound?

Anyway, I like what I hear at their myspace:

What do you all think of them?

I am really asking, not just for myself, but for my whole family. We, collectively, enjoy Relient K, some Stellar Kart, Sanctus Real, etc...what, sometimes is genred ( ) as pop-punk, lol, couldn't type that, pop and punk together, with a straight face.

Thanks...curious as to your comments.

This is one of the better new bands out there. Not really hard rock, even thoug the song "Going Under" really rocks. I highly recommend this album. I'm sure everyone here who has it will agree. Not pop punk at all just strait up modern rock. I think they are better and heavier then Sanctus Real and Stellar Kart. Can't go wrong with this cd.

I think that This Beautiful Republic would be a good alternative to My Chemical Romance. There are similarities in their styles.

ChosenOne summed it up pretty well. This is very well done modern rock, and it's even better since their singer isn't just doing the same ol' copy Vedder or Stapp. Add to that the fact that their faith is clearly shown, I don't think you could go wrong here.

Here the reviews about "Even Heroes Need A Parachute" were not very positive.
Not correct in my opinion.
There's only one good song on this album was the opinion of the writer who has written the Dutch review about This Beautiful Republic.
Again not correct I like the songs on this album so much.
It's cool music these guys have written.
For me it's one of the best CDs of this year.
So it's clear I like This Beautiful Republic.

I thought that you had written that before, so that is why I posed the question. They are really new to me, but I like what I have heard so far.
