Recent Releases: Decade & A Day, Misplaced and Those Without

Welcome/welcome back to the blog! It’s been a busy couple of weeks in the music scene, so in todays recent releases post we’re talking about some of our favourite bands here! Today we’re featuring, Those Without, Misplaced and Decade & A Day. And after tomorrow's post there should be no backlog! 

Let’s kick off this post with talking about the latest track from Those Without. I LOVE Those Without. Bittersweet is one of my favourite albums ever, so I was super stoked that they were releasing new music. And YOU DEFINE ME doesn’t disappoint. The tempo changes in this track are something else and that chorus just hits the spot for me. This track hits the spot for me and I’m OBSESSED with it. This is one of the best releases of the year so far, and it’s truly phenomenal. This track is super catchy, it packs a punch and it’s just everything I could have hoped it would be and more. I’d say it definitely still has that classic feel and sound from Those Without that we’d expect, but it has got a bit of a different feel than the previous tracks and the like of Bittersweet. It’s got a bit of a heavier sound to it, and I’m just here for it! It’s just so catchy, and it reminds me of another song I’ve heard before, but I can’t quite pinpoint it. So with a mix of some subtle rough vocals and a familiar sound, Those Without are here to prove a point and they’ve killed it! They’re absolutely killed this track. I’m super hyped to hear what they release next after hearing this track, and I know for a fact this is going to find it’s way into heavy rotation, in fact, it already has. This will be making its way quickly onto my daily playlists and I’m just in love with this track. That chorus is just such a large source of serotonin for me. Honestly, obsessed! Cannot hype it up enough! You NEED to hear this song if you haven’t heard it already, because it’s truly everything you could want and more. This is truly perfection in the form of 3 minutes and 40 seconds of music. Truly, in love with this track. Please, go show the lovely lot in Those Without the love and support they deserve on this track! It’s insane, truly magnificent! This track is getting a solid 5 out of 5 lemons from me! I’m so blown away by this magnificent anthem from Those Without. This is going to be stuck in my head for WEEKS!

Next, let’s talk about our wonderful, Scottish friends, Misplaced! We all know Misplaced are next level, and they are insanely talented at what they do, and they just never disappoint! GET THRU THE NIGHT is another example of how they never disappoint, because this track goes HARD! It’s insane, it’s past paced, it’s punchy, it’s everything you could want and more. It’s that classic Misplaced sound that we all know and love. This is just such a belter, and I’m well and truly in love with this track! It’s mind blowing just how insane this track is. This is a track you would 100% lose your shit to if you heard it live. This is just something else, and this new era of Misplaced is just something else. It fills me with such a euphoric feeling hearing this track, and I truly would describe this track as pure perfection! Like, honestly, if you haven’t heard this track yet, then 1. What are you doing? And 2. Please go and change that. I cannot get enough of this track, and I know for a fact, this is going to be a track that I play so often, and on repeat. This track will be in heavy rotation, like the rest of Misplaced tracks. They’re truly a band I could never get sick of. I love them so much, and tracks like GET THRU THE NIGHT are perfect examples as to why! Honestly, this track is everything. This is without a doubt, an anthem! I’m now saying that it beats the likes of idk why i try and fuck that, i’m alright, however, it definitely isn’t far off those tracks. This truly is a masterpiece and I cannot comprehend just how insane this track is! You need to hear this track if you haven’t already, because it’s something else truly! Please go show this track, and the lovely lot that are Misplaced, some much deserved love and support on this track, because it’s insane! This is another solid 5 out of 5 lemons track from Misplaced, and I’m super stoked to hear what comes next!

Finally, let’s talk about Decade & A Day. It’s not been too long since we last spoke about them, but they’re back with an EP! How exciting is that! An EP from this wonderful lot! So let’s talk about it! The EP kicks off Gone Forever, which has such a wonderful feel to it, and it’s got that classic pop-punk feel to it. It’s not overly refined or polished in sound. It’s still a great track though, and a sound that very much suits the vibe of the band. As I say, it’s a classic pop-punk feel and it’s got a great set of lyrics to it. I really love this track, and I certainly love it more than I ever anticipated. Truly, magnificent. Cannot recommend it enough! The EP is already off to a great start with this track. 

Next up comes, Useless, and this is another wonderful track and was actually a single. I love the feel of this track, and it’s got such a wonderful sound to it. This is definitely one of my favourite tracks on the EP, and it’s definitely a good starting point on the EP if you’ve never heard Decade & A Day before! This track really does showcase just how great they are. And those vocals on this track are something else! I love it! Such a phenomenal track, and I’m so impressed with it, and it’s another solid track on the EP. 

Now we move onto Addicted To You. This is definitely my favourite track on the EP! It’s just so surreal and I love it! This is just such a punchy track, the sound of this track is just next level, and it’s actually the shortest track on the EP. I swear this track is laced with something, because I’m obsessed with it! This is truly magnificent and you, without a doubt, NEED to hear this track. It’s something else truly, and that makes 3 solid tracks on the EP. 

Track 4 comes in the form of That’s Okay, and this is another track with a wonderful feel to it. This has the most refined sound to it, but it’s also got a bit of a different feel to it in comparison, but it’s so good! It’s truly wonderful, and I don’t think I’d expect anything less from Decade & A Day! Truly, such a wonderful band and this EP is really proving it. This is another track like the others on the EP, that has a nice subtle tempo change to it, and I’m truly just obsessed with it! I love this track just as much as the other tracks! 

The penultimate track comes in the form of Hindsight and you know it’s a solid EP, when they save some of the punchiest tracks on the EP for the end of the EP. This is bit more fast paced, not too much faster than the previous tracks, but it has a slightly heavier, and faster feel to it in comparison. There’s also some subtle rough vocals featuring on this track. And that just wins me over with this track. It definitely means that this is another favourite track from Decade & A Day! Truly, magnificent! Love this track! 

Finally, we have Fakers. And whilst the intro to this track feels like this is going to be a dud track, that isn’t the case for the track. It’s got such a great tempo change within the track, and you can feel it coming. It’s got a gradual build up, and that’s one of my favourite elements in a track. Whilst it’s still not the heaviest, nor the fastest track on the EP. It’s got a great set of lyrics to it too, and it’s just a great track in general. And whilst, it isn’t my favourite track on the EP, it definitely serves a purpose, and it’s a solid track for the closing track of the EP! 

In conclusion, I actually really love this EP! It’s decent, it packs a punch, it’s got a listening time of under 21 minutes, so it’ll be a great EP to pass the time on a commute, and to be fair, I do really rate this EP, and could easily see myself listening to this on my daily commute to work. Overall, I’m giving this EP a solid 5 out of 5 lemons! I’m really impressed with it!
