Next 1

If you’re looking for some modern pop-rock/punk that shares plenty in common with the likes of Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Fall Out Boy and more then you’re in luck because that is Next Year’s Waterfalls. A super-light, super-chilled and super-fun EP.

From the rhythmic mellow beat of Aliens & Pyramids, the punkier pace of Ben Wilson and the reflective melody of Back to You, the first half is good times.

Remember Me has some nice guitar work but is the blandest and least interesting of the album whereas Marquette sees Next Year embrace the punkier side of their music nicely. Before Dopamine ends thinks in perfect pop-rock style.

It’s a very familiar sounding record but has enough little moments to help it stand out on its own.
