    From the terrifically bombastic opening of “Intro” to the chiming finish of “A Party” the entire album twists and turns between bursts of energetic pop-punk, frenzied expressions of lust, calmer reflective honesty, and sharply observed moments of uncomplicated joy. American Hero sounds very easy and fluid.

    American Hero is a collection of 13 succinct pop-punk punches to the chin, in the high-energy mode of singles like “Wild Heart” and “Sorry Sorry.”

    Leaning into catchy pop and garage rock mixed with an anecdotal edge, Bird’s debut album ‘American Hero’ has a gloss that is, undeniably, all-American.

    Towa shows a lot of promise on ‘American Hero’, but this is a record which doesn’t quite know how best to use her strengths.
