“Wait for Love” is an example of a stylistic change working in an artist’s favor, striking a balance between aggressive punk and soft indie rock.

Ithaca Underground advertises itself as an organization that provides an inclusive environment fostering exploration of artistic style for bands.

This album jumps right into its harsh sound with title track “Bad Vibrations.” While old fans will recognize the dark, emo sound and possible nostalgic themes of early 2000s punk, other listeners will skip over this song. Under lead singer Jeremy McKinnon’s screaming vocals, a loud guitar riff follows an overdone beat, producing nothing more than a blaring tune.
