The new Quietdrive CD is, like, totally amazing, ohemgee! With more serious hooks than that creepy fisherman in “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” the band thus far best known for their cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” (you can hear it in “John Tucker Must Die” and “Prom Night”) has assembled a solid lineup of pop-punk songs on “Deliverance.” If MTV still reflects your musical taste, give their new album a spin.

By far the best track on “Deliverance” is “Daddy’s Little Girl.” Melodically it’s great, but the centerpiece here is really the lyrics. Any guy whose guilty pleasure is ’80s pop mixed with Yellowcard needs a little affirmation now and then, and the nonsensical, pseudo-misogynistic lines in this song do the trick. Essentially, some spoiled girl is psychologically dependent on the singer, even though she doesn’t like him…and there’s a reference to drug money, I think…something about hearing voices, I don’t know; all I’m clear on is that she’s “nasty in the sack.” Good enough.

However, for pop-punks, Quietdrive is at the top of the pile. With less annoying vocals than Fall Out Boy, less stupidity than Sum 41 and less overall hateableness than New Found Glory, the band is poised to be the next big thing. Every track is a high-speed toe-tapper, and the band is self-aware enough to stick to what they’re good at—writing catchy, upbeat songs about the girl that got away. They can even manage to be funny without being pretentious (I’m still looking at you, FOB).

“Birthday” is a good example. Ever forget your girlfriend’s birthday because you were drunk? Well, me neither, but God bless Quietdrive, those loveable scamps! I’m going to have to watch those guys around my kid sister!

The band plays well together. Guitarists Justin Bonhiver and Matt Kirby are smart enough to stay out of the way of the vocals, while still making significant contributions by not contenting themselves to play simple back-up chords. Their work on “Afterall” is particularly noteworthy. Kevin Truckenmiller is a surprisingly good vocalist with a malleable voice and wide range, certainly no lately-popular whine, though I’m still not sold on his violin. Luckily, it only makes special appearances and is not a regular feature. The rhythm section is adept and will keep listeners dancing.

Quietdrive will be playing at Fubar on Oct. 25.
