It’s all about the accent. If it wasn’t for the broad Yorkshire twang that bleeds through in the vocals, you’d easily think Eat Defeat<\/b> were the latest pop-punk wunderkind to drag their Vans and skateboards out of SoCal. And that’s real testament to how good their new EP ‘Tide And Time’<\/i> is.<\/p>\n

At this point, discussing originality in pop-punk is pretty much a lost cause, as there isn’t any. Eat Defeat<\/b> don’t do anything to change that – this EP is six tracks of the same rousing, sunshine-imbued fare we’ve all become well-accustomed to by now – but it’s so bracing and carried out with such gusto that it manages to inch ahead of the pack. The likes of ‘DIYTanic’<\/i> and ‘The North Remembers’<\/i> are particularly strong examples of this, both brimming with chunky hooks and copious amounts of bounce. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What’s more, the pace never dips either. Where most new pop-punk bands feel it necessary to display the full range of their skills by tacking on a wet, whiny ballad to the end of their EPs, there’s no such faffing around on here. Eat Defeat<\/b> pack their EP with nothing but insatiable hooks, and it pays off magnificently – this is the sort of stuff that would’ve slotted seamlessly on Warped Tour in its heyday, or any manner of Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater soundtracks.<\/p>\n

There’s very little to find fault with on ‘Tide And Time’<\/i>, as every single measure has been executed to near perfection. It’s suitably beefy, it’s got hooks coming out of its ears – even the release date for the very start of summer couldn’t have been any more perfectly timed. This is a true feat in a genre that’s dying for a change of pace, and one that shouldn’t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n

‘Tide And Time’<\/em> by Eat Defeat<\/strong> is released on June 10th on Umlaut Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
