\"CampfiresDunno if you’ve noticed, but pop-punk’s been on quite the hot streak recently, especially the homegrown variety. In the space of about two years, the UK scene has gone from a virtual non-entity to producing bands like Neck Deep who can go toe-to-toe with pretty much any of the scene leaders across the pond.<\/p>\n

The well doesn’t seem to be drying up either, as new talent is still making its way above ground. Enter Aberdeen’s Campfires<\/b> who, on this self-titled debut EP, show they can pack enough punch to become a welcome addition to the UK’s ever-growing roster.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing really innovative about Campfires<\/b>’ sound – the likes of ‘Same Streets’<\/i> and ‘Pure Gold’<\/i> have absolutely nothing that Neck Deep haven’t done before, but it’s pulled off with such an earnestness and likeability that it’s hard to begrudge them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Even while, in the long run, they might struggle to stick out from the crowd given the restrictions of their sound, songs like ‘Like A Cancer’<\/i> are genuinely huge, and will hopefully be enough to see Campfires<\/b> progress a little further at the very least.<\/p>\n

Regardless, with this and ROAM’s debut full-length both due in January, it’s a fitting indication that pop-punk’s run of rude health doesn’t look to be slowing in the New Year.<\/p>\n

3.5\/5<\/p>\n

‘Campfires EP’<\/em> by Campfires<\/strong> is released on 15th January.<\/p>\n
