Working from the same basic formula that made their debut a winner,
Dodgy perfected their approach with their second album,
Homegrown. The trio's hooks and melodies are sharper, making songs like "Staying Out for the Summer," "Melodies Haunt You," "So Let Me Go Far" and "Making the Most Of" indelible slices of punk-pop. There are still a few stray moments where the band gets by on sound, not songs, but
Homegrown is overall a tight, invigorating record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
