It is quite tempting to compare We Are Juan's Road to Reach You to albums by the Gin Blossoms and the Goo Goo Dolls.

Road to Reach You has a decidedly funkier edge, and Weber incorporatesa lot of nonrock influences; his funkiness comes from an obvious appreciation of hiphop and electronica (especially jungle/drum'n'
