From: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Sounds like: Pop Punk
Late Night Drive are a Pop Punk band from Puerto Rico who just recently released their follow up to their extremely popular "All Wave And No Goodbye" EP. Let's get down to it and see if their new material has the goods. The opening track "Bouquet" is a bit timid at first before exploding into a Pop Punk whirlwind. The high energy breakdowns and easy to sing along to vocals will get the party popped off right. "Nimbus" is a tad heavier than the opener and has shades of Neck Deep and Knuckle Puck. Fans of those bands will definitely take a liking to this highly infectious, top notch Pop Punk track. "Glass & Gravel" is a fast and furious track that lasts a touch of a minute long. The track is a flurry of Pop Punk goodness. "Limerence" takes the pace down a bit as it's more of a ballad than anything else. It really helps to build depth to the album and really shines as a nice break in the action. It gives the listener a little time to catch their breath. "Running" gets the energy back up to a fast clip. The track is a single and really proves why. It showcases their signature sound to at T and will be a fan favorite in no time. "Exeunt" was the first single off the album and sets its sights on infecting the listeners ears with its catchy as hell chorus and extreme Pop Punk stylings. "Bloom" is the closing track and wraps things up nicely with a solid summary of what the band is all about. If you're into Pop Punk, you need this album right now!
Verdict:
Late Night Drive have excelled at creating a Pop Punk masterpiece with their new "Bloom" release.
