<\/span>I\u2019m struggling to find <\/span>good\u00a0<\/em>new music lately. New music that I can happily listen to over and over again and not get bored of, or find something new about it that makes me more interested. And then I check my emails and I have <\/span>Transit<\/strong>\u2019s new album. Bear in mind I\u2019ve never heard of <\/span>Transit<\/strong> before, this is a completely new band to me. So I put on the album and straight away I\u2019m hooked, I\u2019m listening intently and not just because I have to review it.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>As the album continues on there are tracks that have weight to them beyond the normal song you\u2019d hear, and I\u2019m struggling to find words to emphasize why if you haven\u2019t listened to this album yet, you should.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to lie, as \u2018Nothing Lasts Forever\u2019<\/em> started I thought it was going to be one of those stereotypical American bands with the overly done accent that makes it hard to take seriously. Then the whole band kicked in and it all fits, everyone moulds together and the song is a whole. I hear influences from Jimmy Eat World, and other bands that surpassed the emo phase.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As \u2018Second To Right\u2019<\/em> starts it becomes obvious this isn\u2019t just any standard album. I love hearing albums where you can sing along to every song within 1 listen, and Joe Boynton\u2019s voice makes it almost immediately accessible to do just that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listening to \u2018Young New England\u2019<\/em> it\u2019s obvious why this has been chosen for the album title; a great name on its own, but this song is amazing. I love this song, I\u2019ve had it on repeat and love it more every time. When songs are immediate anthems – whether to yourself or to every listener – you know the band have done something right. This is going to be a hit, definitely live, and hopefully commercially. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018So Long, So Long\u2019<\/em> has that feel to it that just lets you enjoy it. Boynton\u2019s delivery draws you in and holds you in the slower moments, while the chorus\u2019 and faster parts are so catchy you\u2019ll be singing it all day.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no stopping the catchy, immediately memorable chorus\u2019 with \u2018Weathered Souls\u2019<\/em>, it seems <\/span>Transit<\/strong> don\u2019t want you to forget any of their songs. The tone is slowed down for \u2018Hang It Up\u2019<\/em>, which shows that these guys can write the type of slow song that you can sit back and take in. No time to relax with \u2018Don\u2019t Go, Don\u2019t Stray\u2019<\/em>, which has the same feel as \u2018So Long, So Long\u2019<\/em>, a feel good fast paced summer anthem.<\/span><\/p>\n

A step back from the more in your face style songs, \u2018Thanks For Nothing\u2019<\/em>, \u2018Summer, ME\u2019<\/em>, and the slower, more downbeat \u2018Hazy\u2019<\/em> show more heart to <\/span>Transit<\/strong> and their relentless hooks. Not for long though, with \u2018Bright Lights, Dark Shadows\u2019<\/em> showing their more prominent colours.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\u2018Lake Q\u2019<\/em> is exactly what I\u2019d expect from an album closer. Not too slow to bring the feel down, but a heartfelt delivery with the catchy chorus you\u2019d expect from <\/span>Transit<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Listening to new music is always a bit hit or miss, but this has definitely been a hit. <\/span>Transit<\/strong> are the type of band that have grown and matured from pop punk and grown into their sound. As soon as I saw these guys were signed to Rise Records I was surprised, they\u2019re not the stereotypical band you\u2019d hear from them, but they obviously have something about them to make such a different type of label sign them. This is the album I\u2019m going to be listening to with my friends this summer when we\u2019re drinking, reminiscing, and having fun, and it\u2019s the perfect accompaniment. <\/span>Transit <\/strong>are the feel good band that you need when you\u2019re having fun with your friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

5\/5<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Young New England’<\/em> by Transit<\/strong> is out now on Rise Records<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
