Taking their name from the fastest airplane ever built, the alternative rock foursome SR-71 are here to stand and deliver jaunty punk songs with a corporate rock edge. Coming together in the early '90s in their native Baltimore, SR-71 -- guitarist frontman Mitch Allan, bassist <a href="spotify:artist:5y546XORrTS2BqpinrLjt5">Jeff Reid</a>, drummer Dan Garvin, and guitarist Mark Beauchemin -- lunge into quick swirling three chord loops and spastic excitement, similar to punk-pop revivalists such as <a href="spotify:artist:6FBDaR13swtiWwGhX1WQsP">Blink 182</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:20oQv3LStCKCjI9oQ0JNha">Less Than Jake</a>. SR-71's raw punching sound reflects the band's deep influential roots in British punk bands such as <a href="spotify:artist:4wsg78KGu80m8Xk37PY2uG">UK Subs</a> and the <a href="spotify:artist:1u7kkVrr14iBvrpYnZILJR">Sex Pistols</a>, but they also cite respect for <a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2">the Beatles</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1dfeR4HaWDbWqFHLkxsg1d">Queen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0lZoBs4Pzo7R89JM9lxwoT">Duran Duran</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5NGO30tJxFlKixkPSgXcFE">The Police</a>. Their debut for RCA, Now You See Inside, was released in summer 2000. It eventually went gold, however changes loomed ahead. Within a year the band saw the departure of Garvin and welcomed drummer John Allen. The new four-piece resumed schedule for a sophomore record. Tomorrow boasted a slicked sound from SR-71 and appeared in fall 2002. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
