Long Way Home by Next Year

So, I've never actually worked with Next Year before... however, I've been following them for a while now.

From the teasers they'd posted of this song, I knew I was going to love it, and it didn't disappoint!

Next year are a midlands based pop-punk/punk rock band (what a shock), and honestly, this song is insane! I love it, so let's dive into my thoughts!

I love the intro to the track as the build up is pretty satisfying to listen to. It's very much a traditional pop punk song, rather than the more pop orientated pop punk. This is how I wish pop-punk still sounded, and for that, I have a lot and respect for Next Year.

This song definitely packs a punch, and I do truly believe it's an incredible track. I would 100% recommend it to you if you enjoy pop-punk/punk rock. For me these are like some of my favourite genres, pop-punk is my favourite genre so I may be a bit bias, but I do think it's incredible and Next Year have so much talent, just listen to a few songs and you'll see why. They're insanely good.

The important bit, which I cannot do a review without saying any more, so if you're a regular you know exactly what's coming... it's got change and depth to the sound and it's got a decent set of lyrics. I'd very much early 2010's pop-punk and I fucking love that! Honestly, so because of the change in the songs, it's exciting, which as I always say, is very important to me.

A lot of pop-punk bands seem to have strayed from the genre and more towards sounding like a mass-produced band, sell-outs if you want to call them that, but Next Year have that refreshing sound about them that I miss music sounding like. This was the sort of music that got me into pop-punk, so honestly, please go check it out. It's great.

Overall, I'll give it a 5 out of 5 lemons, it deserves that because it is that good! I really would strongly recommend it to you!

Wishful Thinking by Near Mrs

Welcome back to another blog post! Today I'm going to be talking about Near Mrs' latest track Wishful Thinking which only dropped today (11th February). Although this song has only just dropped, I was kindly sent the track a few weeks back by the lads in Near Mrs and as always, I'm bringing you my thoughts on it! Now, I can tell you this track is incredible, I thought that the first time I heard it, and I still think that now. This track absolute slaps, and that chorus is extraordinary! The vocals, the lyrics, the guitar, the drums, the bass, everything about this track is a massive yes! I'm a firm believer that Near Mrs are one of the best local bands, and this track is proof of that, as if the past 4 singles haven't been enough proof. Honestly, such an incredible band and this song is just something else! The riffs, the intro, the outro, the change within the sound, those bits that make your brain go "oh shit, they really did that". When I say you all

Rock & Roll Is My Religion by Dirty Rose

Welcome back to the blog, and today I'm featuring a new band to the blog! This band is Dirty Rose. Now, they reached out to me at the end of last year and asked me if I'd be interested in doing some content on their new album when it dropped, and I mean, this is me. When do I ever turn bands down? Anyway, so after me trying to get my brain to write this earlier than I have, we're finally here! The album is titled Rock & Roll is My Religion, and it dropped on the 21st of January, and Dirty Rose are on a mission to properly bring back rock and roll! So if you too, are a believer that we need to resurrect rock and roll, and bring it back then Dirty Rose could be the band for you! I really didn't know what to expect when I first heard Dirty Rose. I thought when they were saying rock and roll, it was going to be a lot less rock orientated than it is. However. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Dirty Rose, and hearing their cover of The Rock Show by blink-182 was

Drown by Cherry Bleach

Welcome back to the blog, and as you may be able to tell, I am welcoming another new band to the blog! Today's band is Cherry Bleach! Fun fact, just before they reached out to me and asked if I wanted to work with them, I was actually contemplating dropping them a message to see if they wanted to work with me. Anyway, they reached out and asked if I wanted to work with them and do a post on their new single Drown, and of course, this is me so I said yes! Now, Cherry Bleach are a 4 piece psychedelic grunge band from Aberdeen, Scotland. They consist of; Alisha Wilkie -Vocals and Rhythm Guitar Ewan Watson - Bass Thomas Reid - Lead Guitar George Hudson - Drums So, on Friday 29th of January, Cherry Bleach released their latest track, Drown! Now, not to generalise but songs with drown in the title tend to be pretty solid. So, this track is a lot softer than I expected, I was expecting this to be a lot more aggressive and in your face, but it's actually a lot softer, and quite po
