Review: 20 Something "Slumpreme (Late Last Summer)"
Pop-punk continues to have a great year with multiple bands rising in the genre as of late. This comes as no surprise as emerging New York pop-punk natives 20 Something has been quickly garnering attention within the scene. Composed of Adam Slocume (Guitar / Vocals), Ben Agnello (Drums), Mikey Haubner (Bass / Backing Vocals), and Connor Kotula (Lead Guitar), the Rochester quartet has released a new track "Slumpreme (Late Last Summer)" that will have many hooked upon the first listen. The news comes after releasing their last single, "Disregard," back in September of this year.
20 Something
Staying true to the classic pop-punk beatitude of the genre, 20 SomeThing has consistently infused elements of hardcore and punk, while personifying their own fresh take on the modern sound of the genre as well. A slightly different feel from "Disregard," "Slumpreme (Late Last Summer)" blends in beautiful composed atmospheric keystrokes and acoustic guitar riffs that instantly knifes through into an overload of spirited vocals and powerfully melodic instrumentals that will get your blood pumping from start to finish. While “Slumpreme(Late Last Summer) is pretty instrumentally, 20 Something has a way of effortlessly blending all this in with such canorous unpretended lyricism that you can’t help but get lost in the song’s story and wispy presence. 20 Something had this to say about the track.
"Slumpreme (Late Last Summer)" is a song about trying to find a sense of clarity in dark times. While the song talks about falling to the wayside in someone else's life, we also wanted to write lyrics that could be taken introspectively about finding yourself and following what you think is right."
20 Something is due to release their EP sometime in the spring of next year. If the EP continues to have more great moments like this, 20 Something is bound to have a bright future on the horizon.
