\"\"Nottingham\u2019s emo-tinged pop-punkers Catch Fire<\/b> are back with sophomore EP, \u2018A Love That I Still Miss\u2019<\/i>, which retains all those classic pop-punk features you\u2019d expect to hear, yet goes way deeper than your usual party fodder. There is a mature posture to this record that makes it a cut above the competition; offering plenty to relate to lyrically, while also being musically more exploratory than the norm.<\/p>\n

Opening the EP with the bright guitar lines and steady riffing of the instrumental ‘Poise\u2019<\/i> immediately sets a more measured tone and it\u2019s one that underpins the whole record. Sure, ‘Curfew\u2019<\/i> then rocks along in classic pop-punk style, it just sounds as if they\u2019ve really thought about delivering something a little more grown up than the usual teenage kicks, maybe it\u2019s all the reflecting on past relationships that\u2019s going on throughout.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The running theme is very evident on ‘Sylvester\u2019<\/i>, a particularly barbed anti-love song with a cool chorus and some more badass riffing, while ‘Guilty as Charged\u2019<\/i> is a well-worked reflection on finding post-relationship happiness with another hooky chorus. Sandwiched in between are the moody guitar lines of the short, but heartfelt, ‘Lucid\u2019<\/i> and the intense ‘Reality\u2019<\/i>, whose hard-edged riffing and incessant bass make for a killer track.<\/p>\n

This is a band intent on stretching beyond the limitations of the genre, the way they work their riffs and tempos on tracks like ‘Thin Ice\u2019<\/i> being a perfect example; the emotional edge to the vocal also helping provide a more serious vibe. It then segues into the moody guitar lines, ponderous percussion and sparse keys of ‘Sinking\u2019<\/i> to bring everything to an excellent, but reflective, finale.<\/p>\n

All in all, this is impressive stuff from Catch Fire<\/b> as they stretch their wings beyond the confines of pop-punk to deliver a quality record.<\/p>\n

4\/5<\/p>\n

‘A Love That I Still Miss\u2019<\/em> by Catch Fire<\/strong> is released on 24th March on Rude Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
