If writing obscenely accessible pop is a crime, Set Forth should get the chair. Radio-friendly? Hell, these guys might as well send BFF pendants to program directors with copies of their four-song debut. Figures that the group formed at the behest of a radiohead. Shortly after catching Steve Melton and Tyler Ward at a talent competition, a local PD urged the two to form a band for a benefit with the Fray.

Ward is on his own now, and from the sounds of this Christopher Jak-produced EP, these Maroon 5 disciples are on their way to superstardom.
