\"CatchPop punk is often misconstrued as being an easy genre to nail, but that’s not the case. Having melody and a handful of decent choruses is all well and good, but what a lot of bands seem to neglect is any sort of noticeable edge to differentiate themselves from the ever-growing crowd. Fortunately, Nottingham’s Catch Fire<\/b> seem to have found their angle on new EP ‘The Distance I Am From You’<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It’s their combination of a meatier, slightly heavier take on the genre and the employment of frontman Miles Kent’s natural British accent, a refreshing change from the over-egged Americanisms that have grated for far too long. A couple of mercifully brief but ill-advised double-time sections prevent this EP from being the A Day To Remember-lite effort this could’ve potentially been, but there’s no doubting that ‘Introspective Pt. 1’<\/i> brim with exuberance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In terms of overall quality, it really doesn’t dip that much. ‘Bad Behaviour’<\/i> is the sort of pop punk jam that UK bands have become more than au fait with in the past couple of years, while ‘Introspective Pt. 2’<\/i>, which initially may come across as little more than a tacked-on, token acoustic track, is actually a sweet little number which acts as an ideal showcase of this band’s versatility.<\/p>\n

Even though it doesn’t stray too far away from the tradition pop punk pack, there’s enough to ‘The Distance I Am From You’<\/i> to prove that Catch Fire<\/b> are at the very least trying to do something a bit different. The pop punk scene, especially the UK one, can be a tough market to crack these days, but even if this EP allows them to poke their heads just that tiniest bit above the surface, it’ll be a victory.<\/p>\n

3.5\/5<\/p>\n

‘The Distance I Am From You’<\/em> EP by Catch Fire<\/strong> is released on 5th February on Rude Records<\/strong><\/p>\n
