Music and lyrics
The band's musical style on Addison Road has been classified by many reviewers as a female-fronted mix of pop and alternative rock. The first single, "All That Matters", has a driving, anthemic rock sound backed by a pop beat, drawing comparisons with Maroon 5. "Sticking with You" has been described as synth-based with a pop/rock "dance-a-long feel". The album's first track, the mid-tempo "This Could Be Our Day", has been compared to Leeland for being an "upbeat tune". The record slows down in the last track with the ballad "What Do I Know of Holy", which Jesus Freak Hideout labeled as lyrically "bringing out a deeper side of the band that was previously unheard earlier on the debut".
Release
In November 2007, Addison Road was originally scheduled to be released in the week of February 26, 2008.
