"Distorted guitar sounds begin *Happy Endings Make You Weak.  Its the sort of sound you hear when a band has finished a set and left the guitars sitting out.  Drums roll into a kind of hand clapping sort of rhythm.  The guitar in the background plays a catchy little tune just before the vocals start.  The arrangement is spot on as the backing vocals work a treat with the on edge sounding lead vocals.  You want to clap along, stomp your feet, jump, sing along (or shout possibly?).  Its all good.
Burst the Bubble begins at a fast pace, drums and guitars combine well, theres again an infectious element to the rhythm of the tune as you feel your feet wanting to move.  Its rocky, its punchy and its raw.  Theres a certain slap of reality to the lyrics, but again its a tune which will get people singing along and jumping along to.
A slower pace is set at the beginning of 2195.  This is deceptive as the song builds into quite a rocky number.  As with the first song there is a good balance between lead and backing vocals.  The track almost sounds like it was recorded live in one take; its very organic and free flowing.  I like that element to a tune as it gives it a rawness that is sometimes lacking in some bands over-produced sounds.  This is an edgy, raw, rocking tune which I guess sums up the band really."

"www.myspace.com/tmaband - Rob Behar - vocals, Edan Feldman - Vazan drums, backs - Mark Driver, guitar, backs - Sam Roth, bass guitar. An english boy band, the old punk in me loves english boy bands, maybe it's the accent, I don't know and why is like number 54 on my list of things to discuss with my psychiatrist. Give me the classic four boy rock format any day that can rock their ass off over a four boy band singing whiny angsty ballads and it is pure heaven to these old punk jaded ears. These guys play like four gears of a ticking clock. A ticking clock attached to a bomb set to go off and you wait anxiously, you know the music they play in all the forensic shows on TV. The soundtrack song builds, the beat going faster and faster, all the stars look at each other with those pensive looks, remembering good times and regrets cause this could be the last breathe and the bomb just ticks faster and faster and the song builds and you don't know what the hell is gonna happen. My favorite song is the title one, Happy Endings, it starts with just the fast click beats of a drumstick and then a guitar enters with a raw melodic line and then the full band kicks in like a small caliber handgun, sweet and deadly. Fight fight, Be yourself and don't be afraid of that. These songs start slow like you are walking towards the edge of a cliff and soon are rocking fast as you jump falling into the air. The energetic make me wanna jump up and down lead vocals by Rob Behar are splendid and enticing and he pumps you up like a carnival barker getting your adrenalin swirling before you go inside the tent. Their blend of steady powerful hardcore punk rock beats with the dipping and rising rollercoaster touch of new wave thrown in is a ride worth taking. England should be proud, they have given the music world something that rocks it again."

"Don't be fooled by the drab connotations of this band's name. This highly-charged London quartet certainly pack a punch.
They confess to being something of a crossover band, melding emo, indie and punk into their music, and at times this works against them, belying the tremendous sense of melody in their work.
The disc's title track begins like The Smiths' 'The Queen is Dead': a wail of guitar distortion feeding into a driving drumbeat. This is served up with a cleverly understated hook and straining vocals.
Musically the band is tighter than a snare drum and the arrangement is deceptively simple.
Unfortunately the music and lyrics are often at odds with each other. The music is carefully mapped out, but the lyrics seem a little thin when set against the emotional backdrop.
The problem with Emo is when the singer appears to have nothing to say in his lyrics, the music becomes so much noise. This isn't quite the case with The Mourning After, but without more substance lyrically, they could be confused with Britain's army of angry young men - plenty to shout about, but not particularly able to articulate their feelings.
This said though The Mourning After are a complete outfit and are very promising, especially when they drape so much melody on their power chords, as on the quite brilliant Pink-Floyd-tinged 'Misconception'.
The band say 'Happy Endings Make You Weak' is about getting back on your feet after receiving a set-back. Given that this is their fourth EP you get the feeling they know what they're talking about.
One to look out for. "
