Underground US Punk band The Explosion have been tipped to make it big over here in 2005 – and with their major label album debut ‘Black Tape’ fast approaching, and support slots with the likes of the Ordinary Boys, New Found Glory, and Good Charlotte, it is surely going to happen.
“Here I Am” is the first single to be taken from their new album and is to be released on the 14th of March. This is a perfect breakthrough track really – it has great pop sensibilities, a fast and furious pace, a highly memorable chorus, and strong guitar riffs. This track is sure to make everyone go wild at their gigs when the band plays here over the next couple of months. It really is a high energy song and it’s absolutely impossible not to sing along to the chorus. If you’ve seen the video for this track on the music channels then you’ll already know of this track and its immense excellence. I swear that if this track doesn’t get into the top 10, let alone the top 40 then there’s something seriously wrong with people because this really is one of the finest Pop Punk tracks I have heard for a long time – it has everything you could possibly wish for in a Pop Punk track, from the unforgettable chorus and high energy, right down to the skateboard video.
I really can’t get enough of this song – if this track is anything to by then their album is sure to be a classic. This band are long overdue their shot at fame so lets hope that 2005 will be the year that everyone starts worshipping the ground that The Explosion walk on. ‘Black Tape’ will be released on March 28th so make sure you pre-order your copy now because after people get a load of this single it’s sure to sell out pretty quick I reckon!
