Forgive Durden - Beware The Jubjub Bird And Shun The Frumious Bandersnatch

Although kudos must go to a band who've taken their song title from Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky', but from the sound of 'Beware The Jubjub Bird And Shun The Frumious Bandersnatch', it's only because that's what they'd studied at school that week. Forgive Durden might be riding on the coat-tails of Panic! At The Disco, but very soon someone's going to come and cut them right off. Probably Pete Wentz.

The instrumentation might be awkward and heavy enough to carry through, but when the chorus is little more than the rest of the band joining Thomas Dutton on vocals, and sounds more like a bunch of American Idol rejects than anyone with genuine sentiment, the entire track falls apart. Disappointing.Mark Worthington
