Press Reviews MyComplex have the potential of falling into the rut of becoming another Lifetime rip-off band. All of the elements are present: the driving melodies, the fast-paced momentum, and the added emotional sentiment that's included in the vocal package. But with the additional hybrid of metallic riffs, dual vocal complexities, and multiple layers of start-stop tempo changes, the band's sound seems influenced by the likes of Braid or Cap 'n Jazz sped up to a hyper pace. Comparisons aside, If We Keep Moving provides a diverse package of melodic punk that breaks the rules of genre classification. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide Michigan's Mycomplex haven't been around very long (since the fall of '97), but during the course of their fairly brief existence they've sure perfected their nuanced, technically accomplished brand of power punk. It's hard to pinpoint their sound, but it's a little like a heavily caffeinated, more pessimistic Braid. That's not quite fair though, because this band brings a package to the table that's more diverse than that. The foundation of Mycomplex's sound is one of driving melodies, start-stop-start-again rhythms, manic energy, and above all else, almost unbearably sincere vocal and lyrical sensibilities. Mycomplex adds to this already compelling mix with metal guitar riffs on some tracks and gorgeously evocative dual guitar arpeggios on others. The emotional range of this band is really remarkable. -epitonic
