Falcon Five-O is a power-pop band from Oklahoma. This state was put on the map not when the government declared it a state, but when the All-American Rejects burst forth from there. If you said that FFO sounded somewhat like AAR, you'd be right. In fact, if you said it reminded you of Fountains of Wayne or Bowling for Soup, you wouldn't be too far off either.

But Falcon Five-O takes the best of all three bands and melts them together, making something much cooler. For example, the vocals on this sampler are much more lower, stronger, and more accessible than AAR's whiny yelp, the lyrics are wittier and more inspired than Fountains of Wayne, and they can write a hook better than Bowling For Soup.
