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!

Empty Streets by Aim High

Welcome/welcome back to the blog! On today’s instalment of Grace rambles about small bands and their latest releases, we have Aim High with their latest single Empty Streets. Now, we all know I’m a sucker for a good Aim High release, and they always put out belters of tracks! This track features Driveways, it has a different vibe to previous tracks, but as we've spoken about before, Aim High tend to change their sound with each track, or nearly every track. Never drastic changes, but noticeable. This track is very unique, there's a lot of different tempo changes. There's a noticeable change between the verses and chorus, but it's a sound I'm here for. The bridge in the track is insane. This is such a great track it's an impactful track. This is honestly a belter. This is such a surreal track, honestly a belter. This may not be my favourite track from Aim High but it's definitely one worth checking out and showing some love about. This is honestly such a

Pink Alligator by Those Without

Welcome/welcome back to the blog! Today I’m super excited to be talking to you about Pink Alligator by Those Without. Now, Those Without are a band I’ve listened to for a few months and I’ve liked the releases they’ve put out. However, no previous track has got me as hyped as Pink Alligator did. Knowing what sort of tracks Those Without put out, I was pretty excited for this release, and I had pretty decent expectations. I want to start off by saying since this track was released, I have been listening to it constantly. Every time I get in the car I'm there putting it on repeat for my drive, everytime I go to listen to music, I'm going to be there listening to this track. I am well and truly obsessed with it. So, when I tell you that this song has blown my mind and really has beaten all expectations I had for it, I mean it. Pink Alligator has an infectious beat to it, and it's one of the catchiest tracks to be released recently. The tempo changes between the verses a

A Spark To Ignite by Royals

Welcome/welcome back to the blog! Today we're going to be talking about Royals again. Royals went and dropped a new EP on Friday, and I feel like it was something we all needed in our lives. I had pretty decent expectations for this EP judging by the 4 tracks we’ve already heard off the EP. I’ve done a full review of Worldwide Catastrophe and Jaded so I won’t be saying much about them, but I never reviewed Fair-Weather Friend and Out of Reach, so I will speak a little about them but probably not the same amount as Gone. Anyway, the EP opens with Worldwide Catastrophe. This is an absolute belter of a track. This track is surreal. It packs a punch, it does everything you’d want it to do and more. It’s just insane. I absolutely love this track, I loved it when it first released and I love it all the same now. It’s a great song and one I still highly recommend! The second track is Fair-Weather Friend. This was one of the first tracks released off this EP, and it is an incredibl
