CD Review: We Can't Satnd Sitting Down-Stellar Kart

CD Review:
We Can't Stand Sitting Down Stellar Kart
By Blair S.
Dove Award New Artist nominee, Stellar Kart, is back with a bang. Continuing in the vein of their previous offering, All Gas, No Brake, Stellar Kart gives us We Can't Stand Sitting Down. An album that bridges punk rock guitars with upbeat, hyper pop melodies. "Procrastinating" is a caffenated rock song. "Activate" is catchy and doing fairly well on the Christian rock charts. The album gives us a breather with the hit single, "Me And Jesus". The power ballad, "Me And Jesus", proves to us that Jesus is with us through every troubling circumstance and provides us with relationships to help as well. "Hold On" follows the strong rock ballad trend that "Me And Jesus" started. The fun, energetic tunes return with songs like "Finding Out", "Lose Control", and "Always Waiting". "Always Waiting" sounds very similar to "Spending Time" from Stellar Kart's debut. "Only Wanted" shows a slightly harder side to this band. We Can't Stand Sitting Down closes with worshipful ballad, "Angels In Chorus". Overall, this is a big plus for Stellar Kart. They have improved enough to have a number one CHR single (Me And Jesus). If you like peppy rock, you'll love this CD.
