SINGLE REVIEW: Too Close for Comfort - Smother

Single Review
Written By Amy

Coming in with a 'Wonder Years'-esque hook, 'Smother' bursts into a track that would have felt right at home on 'The Upsides.' It's an iconic brush of retro, nostalgia-laden pop-punk. Up-tempo, instantly memorable, and bursting with anthemic hooks, it’s both melodic and churning. It delivers a high-power, high-octane deluge of some of the best pop-punk I've heard in ages!

The vocals strike just the right blend of crisp, melodic, and raw. Meanwhile, the musical backdrop transports me right back to my mid-20s with its addictive fast pace, energetic tempos, and classic pop melodies.

It's an absolute belter, and I'm thrilled to have discovered Too Close for Comfort. I can already tell they're going to become a firm favourite just from listening to 'Smother'.
