\"\"Three years is a long time in music.

New EP ‘Chances’<\/i> launched with the most obvious accompanying \u2018sounds-like\u2019 listing known to man, the south-coast three piece have put together four tracks of straight up pop-punk that sadly puts them no higher than their list of influences.<\/figure>\n

Opening track \u2018Burn The Night\u2019<\/i> shows genuine promise and recalls the glory days of Saves The Day with its stabbing riff and driving percussion, but sadly that\u2019s as good as it gets as the rest of the EP descends into pop-punk-by-number-drudgery.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Of the other three tracks, \u2018Lost Heart\u2019<\/i> plods along on a ponderous riff that on occasion threatens to explode but never quite gets there, instead wandering off on a similarly ponderous meander. Closing track \u2018Letting Go\u2019<\/i> is another one that tip-toes where it should stomp and just gets lost in the process. Even the gang \u2018whoa-oh\u2019s\u2019 sound a million miles away.<\/p>\n

It\u2019d be unfair to mark Someday I<\/b> down as mere also rans as they\u2019re clearly capable of writing tunes with bite (see \u2019Burn The Night\u2019<\/i> for evidence of that) but to progress they need to find a way to keep up that intensity across four or five tracks a time.<\/p>\n
